RE: Quick Tips - Make more run smooth your PC by winsevenholic
If you have the minimum requirements I don't know how much some maintenance processes will really help.
Defraging your system is one of them but Windows 7 Disk Defragmenter runs on a schedule,so your PC should be always defragmented even if you don't make any effort.
Here some tweaks that might help improve your overall PC performance :
Disable the Aero Theme
Disable the unwanted services
Disable the Search Indexing Feature
Disable the Windows 7 Gadgets
Change the Power Plan To Maximum Performance
Disable the thumbnail preview
Disable the Aero Peek and Aero Snap
Disable unwanted Start Up items
Turn ff your screen saver and wallpaper.
Also for those who run Windows 7 with the minimum requirements, another good option would be to enable the Ready Boost service.

@jack: sure, it will help, like me.
i do test AV's using a VM on 1,7GHz and 1,5GB ram, and just 15% of lag on host
i just defrag 2-3times in a week and always use ccleaner everyday after browsings
