"Do people really find that running these defrag utilities make a difference?" My experience with a lot of modern machines is that the hard drives so large, and files one moves around are so sall that fragmentation is not really an issue. The last few times I ever defragged a VISTA PC myself I had maybe 1 or 2 percent fragmentation whichi is as near as none at all. I do hear however that if you want max performance out of VISTA then it may be worth turning off the background defrag. My guess is that you won't need to do it that aften manually. Regards.
