Nothing related to Vista I suppose. Check the HDD cabling, some might loosen

According to benchmarks I read online, the performance increase will only be noticeable if you have 512MB RAM (or less) installed on your PC. There's little performance increase on 1GB & 2GB system, and no performance increase at all if you have 4GB of RAM.

On Gamespot.com, there actually a decrease in performance if you set your ReadyBoost size to 4GB.

uhh okay, nowonder, then actually quite useless loh readyboost. coz vista users normall have 1gb ram and above. doh.gif sweat.gif

i'm having a prob with it. Every once in a while (ie 10 mins, sometimes 30 mins) my hard disk activity jumps to an insane amount to the point everything slows down. Movie becomes still frames pictures.. This happens when i have new files on the computer (ie download stuff from torrents). Is this normal or is it because some program is running? checked the performance monitor and it shows my harddisk activity at 100% and it's usually one file that's being access the most. KAV does not show any antivirus scan running and there's no virus detected on the pc.

What software do u use? Face the same problem as i was using Azerues ( it was hogging my system due to heavy utilisation of Java ). The problem had since gone away after i switch to none Java programs,..ie uTorrent.

Is it ok to run Vista with just 512MB RAM only using surf net(firefox+IE), run online java (JVM) application(launch from browser), MSword, utorrent, 1 antivirus+ zonealarm, listen song & watch movie all together?

Added on March 23, 2007, 12:42 amand honestly, do you know that comma (,) and period (.) are created for a reason and not just for show. I really hate when ppl post something without using both of that and expecting us, the reader, to understand it

it's not the torrent program that's causing the excessive harddisk access..
i've check resource monitor and apparently it's svchost that's accessing my harddisk. It's reading files randomly and causing the hangups.

ok...svchost is a thing where windows use to group several services together, which means each svchost contains a few or more services,

when u look at the resource>disk monitor , under the svchost,exe, you look at the file location, does most of them coming from ur downloading file? If thats so, you might need to check the settings of uTorrent

have you update the AV and firewall? coz theres possbility that some malwares are doing its work quietly

theres some ways to look for what the actual services are being covered by each svchost, by opening windows defender, look for currently running programs, or u can use command prompt

Do you have the right viewer? What app do you use to view GIF? Try using IE. It should animate.

With DAP ur downloading time only 1H30M? And with normal download 48H?? This sounds ridiculous. DAP does not acceralete that fast. How big is the file? Even if normal download it won't goes to 48H
