Default Low performance - High spec


Thanks for the reply JayD.

How about the low CPU utilization? Compressing and Uncompressing files
is a CPU intensive task. why is my CPU so low when I am uncompressing
about 10 large RARs at the same time it was still less than 15%.

Also, yes I am aware of Vistas Superfetch and Readyboost and such (I
also have a 4GB 33mb/s Readyboost device). Which is also why I am
disappointed I gave it so much memory so it could use all it needs but
unless I run 4 or 5 Virtual Machines it hardly uses any of it

Out of curiosity, why are you running 10 virtual machines?


Not running, I was -unzipping- 10 VM RARs. I was just using them as an
example because the RARs are huge and the uncompression should eat up
CPU cycles easy so I can't figure out why the CPU is barely working at
all.
