My pc is something akin to an old V8 car..... its lightning fast once it gets started. However i have a quirky Gigabyte mobo that always wants to verify DMI pool data, really slows down the boot process. Ive never managed to get to the bottom of it. Plus the fact im dual booting w7 and Server 2008 R2, id be ashamed to even post my restart time......
56 Seconds Win7x64 I7-920 Gigabyte X58-UD7 Intel X25M 80GB SSD 6GB Ram Aero, AnyDVD HD, Toshiba BlueTooth Stack, Virtual CloneDrive, Kaspersky IS,... BIOS stuff takes about one third of the time
really? SSD helps that much ? i have been reading about SSDs for a while and have been contemplating getting one.. but i wanted to wait until the prices come down a bit.. What did you pay for yours and what size is it?
Yea i wish dude check out Newegg they're selling 1 tb drives for like 70 bucks. And I know what you mean its like I wanna get the SSD but I could get a couple of drives for each one I got cause of the price... Sad but true...
That doesn't sound right for a intel chip cause it should be faster even if you have 3 GB of ram. My dual core 2.3 GHZ laptop runs a bit faster it looks to me like you have too many start up programs running maybe its a few virus programs but you get my jist. I'll give a good example I have a 3.4 GHZ AMD phenom x4 965 (OCed to 3.85 now ) and it has 6 GB of ram and its still a little slow (@ 70 Seconds) so check your start up thing...
@Smorgan sorry, deleted post i misunderstood what you were saying, yeah... newegg does have good prices
Well I deleted mine anyway cause it would seem out of context at this point but yea... Newegg has excellent prices but I still wish the SSD price was cheaper over cause I wish I could raid a couple of them together.. but alast I can't....
Pardon for hijacking this thread (like I did earlier with an earlier thread). My PC has 5gb ddr3 ram (+1GB nvidia 9800 gt) on corei7 920. One question is at what point does adding more RAM become a waste of money. Not much gaming for me.
