Re: HD Tach Scores

after the fact, I found that setting it to compatibility mode SP2 for XP solved it all. Well I'm just about back to XP on all my machines anyhow.I tired an 8GB CF/SSD and enabled readyboost. used it for two days and didn't notice a thing. Have 3GB of DDR2 667mhz ram in this, I guess that's the equiv of 11GB ram and vista still runs no faster than XP with 2GB

next windows upgrade should be on Bill's tab.

I just set it to WindowsXP SP 2 Compatibility and it runs and tests.
