Boot Time Slower With Windows Updates Installed?

[Guest]

Hey guys, I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S7444 with Windows Vista Home Premium installed.
After getting a replacement hard drive for it, I installed Vista & it was working great & normal, but when I installed all of the latest windows updates, the boot time has been noticably slower.

Try defrag the hdd.

What's the difference between Defraggler & the Windows Defrag utility? Is it more thorough?

One from microsoft, one are 3rd party utility. Personally, I use Defraggler because I like to pick which file(s) to defrag.

I tried Defraggler, & I did a full defrag but it was taking a very long time. Remaining time said somewhere around 12 hours, I let it defrag overnight but by morning, it was still going & I stopped the defrag. Any other tips or alternatives to Defraggler?
I also tried Boot Time Defrag & it helped a little bit.

I'll list my specs to see if this helps.
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium
HDD: WD Black 750GB 7200RPM
The RAM I got is 2GB DDR2 RAM.
CPU: AMD Turion 64 x2 Dual Core Processor (can't name the model exactly)
I'm guessing it is the RAM?
