Hello,
I replaced my system disk (hard disk) with a much faster SSD (solid state
disk 128G)
and now my system is slower not faster. (boot and shut down are much
slower)

When I check the disk using HD Tune the results say the disk is much much
faster then the old one (old type) I had. My Windows experience disk index
went from 5.6 to 5.9.

Before I go into exact timimgs can we have some comments/thoughts on what
might be happening here. It was even worst when I defined a pagefile.

I;m running vista 64 bit with 8G memory.

I did discover a news item which confirmed my findings but doesn't go into
much detail as to why.
