| 466413 | 2006-06-28 09:10:00 | yea, when i checked my seagate drive: ST380817AS it is a ncq sata 150, so been thinking there is no point just yet in upgrading... i just have money burning a hole in my pocket! LOL my Albatron 7900gt pci-express graphics card only scored 5.9/10 all be it, it's only a 256MB card! Yes doubling the RAM would be a good idea, here i was thinking i was being generous with the 1GB, then i see Vista Ultimate really needs 1GB for starters. It was reporting some drivers slowing the startup/stutdown time, but there are no new drivers, i just installed the xp pro 32bit drivers as there were no vista drivers except for my nvidia 7900gt. Vista does have quite a few services which most people wouldn't use, think they should build a questions and answers thing into the install so it can go through and customise the services according to what we need! ANd some of the Beta 2 version looks like they haven't quite written over some of the Windows XP layout/features, bit of a miss-match really. Interesting Vista read.... www.apcstart.com |

RAID 0 should make a huge difference to speed as the load is effectively distributed across two or more drives. Most modern motherboards support RAID 0 (striping) and 1 (mirroring) so you just need 2 identical drives to use it. | TGoddard (7263) | ||
