Hello, You are dreaming. Your new computer is 4 times faster than old one nothing more.
Run some real-world application that is actually doing something serious CPU and disk intensive (like C++ compiler) and you will see 4 times speed up as well. You computer may be faster than that on paper or in certain tasks (like video decoding, because of SSE3 support) but from CPU + disk standpoint it is just about 4 times faster nothing more. Disk access speeds did NOT improve even 4 times. Your old disk may have 20 ms and new may have 16 ms access. Not much improvement. Bulk transfer rates do NOT matter at all because with the exception of copying 1GB file disk must SEEK and time is spent on seeking rather than transfering data.
