Get an SSD, and put your OS and apps onto it. Looking at your specs, your single HDD has got to be your bottleneck.

Somehow..i don't think getting a better graphics card will help..since i have setup performance to be "Best Performance" setting(ie no aero or fancy stuff) [cid:image001.png@01CB2280.0FC4B8E0] From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Jason Finch Sent: Tuesday, 13 July 2010 12:42 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: [OT] My Win 7 PC too slow Try to isolate the bottleneck first. Fire up perfmon and get a guage for whats slowing you down. Ive got a similar system (abeit 12gb ram) but i constantly run 3 or 4 VM's concurrently VS2010/VS2008 SQL2008 etc.) My bottleneck was Disk Queue Length, moving from onboard RAID 0 to a adaptec 5950 hardware RAID10 solved my bottleneck. I think i could easily drop cpu and ram and still get similar performance. So try and see what your bottleneck is first before bumping stuff up.
