Re-loaded Win 7 Ultimate on it and I think the whole process took like 15 minutes if that. Windows Index went to 7.8 on the hard drive from 5.9. Very sweet!

My middle name is "Backup". always have at least two current sets around on different media. You never realize how much pain you can get into until it happens. For me it wasn't a crash buy a computer theft, thank god I have all my data (and more importantly the wife's data :lol: ) backed up. Made the reload much less painful.
Yep. I have a 40 gig Intel.
Boot times about 30 seconds including Bios.
And when W7 pops up. NO more waiting for programs to load.
A quick double click on ETQW and I'm gaming in under a minute from boot up.

Reboots... 45 seconds maybe.

NICE NICE NICE
Gonna raid a couple on my next build.

Yeah, that's something I want to do to is Raid 2 of them, once I can afford to buy another one. That's supposed to increase performance by another 20%

The more Windows versions come out the more hardware upgrades have to happen. Bill has his hands it it all :shrug:
