Good for both XP and Vista, but mostly for XP
1st, Please format your SSD with 4k or 8k block size. Smaller block size can increase the performance of the SSD
For Vista, please make sure you disable superfetch
Control Panel -> Performance and maintenance-> Administrative tools-> Service -> Superfetch -> Startup type “Disable”-> ok
Registry Tweaks
to start regedit
Start->run-> type in "regedit"
Disable Automatic Boot Disk Optimization
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOpt imizeFunction
Modify or Make a new String value
Name = Enable, Type = String Value, change value to N
Last Access Time Stamps
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Filesystem
Modify or Make a new DWORD Value
Name = NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate Type = DWORD Value, change value to 1
Prevent windows to move operating data on virtual memory
By default, windows do periodically checks to move its essential driver and kernel files to the virtual memory ( page file ).
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Se ssion Manager\Memory Management.
Select the DisablePagingExecutive value to '1'
Enable write caching on hard disks
Enabling hard drive write caching will make transferring of data between hard drives and memory more efficient. If you have a hot-swappable drive rack, or if you expect your PC to be shut down incorrectly, don't enable it.
To enable write caching right click on my computer and select 'properties.'
Select the hardware tab, then 'device manager.' From the device manager window, expand 'disk drives' and highlight your hard disk. Select 'properties' then the 'policies' tab.
Check the 'enable write caching on the disk' box.
Repeat the above steps for all hard drives in your system.
Install Windows SteadyState 2.5 <-------------- i don't really recommend it. some ppl think it is good, some ppl don't like it at all.

After installation, turn on Windows Disk Protection and change the protection level to “Retain all changes permanently”. Please remember change the cache file around 10GB.
It coverts random write to sequential write. but make sure you have enough space for cache to prevent many windows restarting.
reboot after you change it
The tweaks above work very well (tested numerous times). If you are looking for registry tweaks, those two are the one you have to change.
