Many people I see are having the problem in regards to either a slow boot up, or windows is slow to load Programs. I myself have 4GB of ram, and I am using a SATA RAID 0 config. This can result in heavy fragmentation and a slow system- especially after recording tv on MCE. Deframenting speeds up the system dramatically, BUT using the default defragmentation doesn't defrag files bigger than 64MB. _*So_here_are_two_steps_to_a_faster_system:*_ *1. Do a full defrag- all files* StartAll ProgramsAcessoriesRight Click Command Prompt"Run as Administrator"at command prompt, copy and paste the following: *defrag c: -w* *2. Check disk for errors* StartComputerRight Click "C" driveClick PropertiesToolsError Checking-Click "Check Now"Under Check Disk Options click "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" Restart Computer *-(note-substitute "c" for the drive letter you want to defrag/check for errors)-* When computer restarts after check disk you will notice system is much faster, and more responsive. -- rive0108 Alienware Area-51 M5790 Vista Ultimate x64 sp1 T7600G Core2 Duo 2.33 Ghz (overclocked to 2.67 GHZ) ATI Mobility Radeon x1900 256 MB 1920x1200 WUXGA 4GB DDR2 PC5300 Blu-ray BD-RE UJ-220 HP digital Tuner express card 200 GB 7200 RPM HDD RAID 0 |
