Windows 7 Background services

[Caatalyst]

Hi everyone,

I'm on a bit of a optimization mission at the moment trying to get Pro Tools as stable as possible. It still seems a bit sluggish at times.

First I wanted to ask if anybody knows how useful the following background services are and if I should keep them running;

- Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology
- Intel(R) Intergrated Clock Controller Service - Intel (R) ICCS
- InstallDriver Table Manager
- Intel(R) ProSet Monitoring Services

Startup

- Delayed Launcher (Intel Corporation)
- Windows 7 DDK Provider

I've also disabled all of the 'C state' options in BIOS but have left turbo core enabled because for some reason I lose my overclock settings. I've been monitoring the core speed of my processor and it's sat at 4.4Ghz it does fluciate slightly but only around 5 or 6 mhz.

Thanks in advance for any responses
