these tweaks are all old. some are outdated with SP2/SP3. for the most part, there's no need for any of the tweaks anyway. with C2D/C2Q's and geforce 8/HD3000 series cards (and older cards for sure) these tweaks do absolutely nothing. 2+ GB ram is enough for most new games and 4GB is very common now. most games dont fully use 2 or 4 cores so slimming down the services tab only frees up a few cycles per single core clock but with 2 or 4 cores and games only using 1-1.5 on average it's freeing up clock cycles that get left idle anyway...
bottom line: with dual-core, 2GB RAM, and semi-modern gfx card or better there's absolutely no need for any of these tweaks.
