CPU question
DELETEDSun Nov 28, 2010 2:34 am
Did a cpu performance test
and all the categories came back with
high scores. It seems that my lowest score
came on the Disk Data Transfer rate off the
Primary hard Disk.
Does anyone know what this means?
And what can I do?

Performance test? As in the one for Windows?
"Disk Data Transfer rate" is basically how fast your hard drive reads/writes data. Even with Raid 0 on 2 Raptors i only get a 6.2.
If you want to make that a high seven you'll have to invest in a SSD. Do it the smart way and buy a small SSD for your boot drive and then another ( regular hard drive ) for your programs. ( put your games on the boot drive)

It nice having a SSD but the only big noticeable difference is start up of your OS and programs. Data transfer is increased but for the money you would spend to get a decent size SSD its not worth it. I would give it some time, alittle birdie tells me SSD prices are going to down soon.
