Ok dont know if it just me but my freaking hell is this fast on the internet :eek:
I have at least double my speed on browsing.

WTF???
Is that even possible? Just installed, using standard settings but seriously my speed on the net, just browsing is lightning fast
 
Ah, so you found the hidden turbo / NOS switch too?
 
Been using Windows 7 32-bit and Chrome and it's very sweet. Had 64-bit on my lappie and it was giving issues so took it off..

I'm not totally sold on the 64-bit version of Windows 7 but I may have been missing a driver or 2, didn't find there to be any noticeable difference in performance compared with the 32-bit. Perhaps the added burden on the laptops resources negated the performance advantage...
 
Ok, on my old system, Vista 64, it took some time to open up one of the other drives in the machine.
Not a lot of time but when opening a 1TB drive there was some delay.
Now there is nothing
 
Ya well keep your running 2gb memory dude, even with xp 2gb is sometimes a bit small :).

Go take 500 bucks and buy another 2/4gb memory.

ya ya I will soon.
didn't you mention you are running 2GB RAM in another thread though? :erm:
 
Nope said 64 bit windows runs fine on 2gb, obviously having massive amount of movies etc or heavy work stuff would require more.
 
I don't see how having large folders depends that much on ram ?

win7 uses about 1GB of ram on my PC so surely there is another 1GB for this? I don't see how even 8GB's of extra ram would benifit the loading of folders?

the point is my CPU/RAM meter doesn't run full on RAM % when I navigate around, so why would more help?

IMO it's more of a HDD thing.....
