I have win 7 ultimate 32bit installed on nforce2 based motherboard with 1GB of RAM. When I have something turned on (e.g. Winamp) and start to downlod, speed is decreased almost in half. If I close aplication, speed isincreased.
Any idea?
My system specs are :Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 GHz, 2 GB of RAM,nVidia GeForce GT 210 1GB SDDR3 graphics card. I want to install win 7 64 bit. Will the gaming performance be slow on it, as compared to win 7 32 bit ?? Is 2 GB Ram enough for games on win 7 34 bit ??

If I was to do a clean install of the C: partition, how would that affect the programs on the D:? Would I have to reinstall them all?
If I do fresh install of W7 will my cpu overclock and bios settings be affected?
View 6 Replies View Relatedwhat I am trying to do is sort of complicated but I'll try my best to explain it. Basically I'm trying to squeeze every ounce of potential out of my nearly outdated machine.
First, my relevant system specs:
- Windows 7 Pro 64bit
- 2 IDE Hard drives - 5400rpm 80GB Maxtor, and 7200rpm 160GB Seagate
- 2 Gigs of generic grade RAM
OK so earlier today I found out about virtual memory, AKA a paging file, and about how it acts like a sort of RAM buffer, increasing performance. I also found out that I can put a paging file on each hard drive and that I could get the greatest benefit if I had each hard drive on a separate IDE channel, so I ripped open my case, rerouted the cables appropriately, changed the master/slave jumpers, reset CMOS, and booted up Windows 7.
Now here is where I make things more complicated . In the interest of getting every drop of juice out of this rotten orange, I want to move (clone) the entire Windows 7 partition from the Maxtor to the Seagate to take advantage of the extra RPMs. Except when I attempt the cloning process via Seagate Disc Wizard, I only get the option to clone the Windows 7 partition and not the reserved unallocated space used by Windows Recovery Environment.
I am unaware of how Windows 7 uses the reserved space specifically, but I assume that if I just created the unallocated space later it wouldn't instantly restore WinRE functionality. I know enough to know it has to be more complicated than that. How would I clone the Windows 7 partition and retain WinRE functionality?
Then, after that's done, do I still have to allocate some space on each hard drive for the paging files, like a Linux swap file? Or is the virtual memory reserved literally as a file in the operating system partition?
I've got Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux on different partitions, so if I were to recover windows 7 by the Advanced Recovery Method restoring to factory condition, would this action delete/affect my precious Ubuntu in any way? Is the restoring applying to that partition or the whole computer?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just allocated more space to my system restore to ensure that when i back up files/docs there will be sufficient space. But does the allocated space for system restore affect at all how much space is allocated for backup? If not, i will would like to turn back down the allocated space for the restore.

I'm using window 7, my system is running slow. I've did all those which I know to increase the performance of system but that was not effective. So I want to know; is there any tool to increase my pc performance?
View 5 Replies View RelatedAs you know there are hundreds of PC booster and performance software 'speeding' up your pc, fixing registry issues, optimizing boot time etc etc. eg. CCleaner, System Mechanic, Which ones are really worth having and what makes them any better than the tools you already have at your disposal from Windows7 itself?

I mean the Resource Monitor. Also....it worked at first....I assume it's just a bug because it's a beta.
I know there is probably a simple answer out there, however RAM is cheap right now and I though I would go ahead and future proof my system or whatever. My WEI with 4 GB RAM was 6.6 and after upgrading to 8 GB of Crucial RAM it was 6.6. I knew the difference from 4 to 8 would be negligible but I thought I would see a better score. The system does see 8 GB RAM by the way.

View 4 Replies View Relatedwhy did M$ wreck the performance monitor? i can't get to view the monitor because it's stuck in a directory (c:perflogs) that i don't have permission to access. what a crock.
unless someone can point out something i'm doing wrong. but i added counters, only to see that it's output was something in that perflogs directory.
and bill, what kinda drugs were you taking when you made windows 7? because never in my whole entire life did i ever have so many directories on my computer that i can't access. what on God's green earth were you THINKing?
My CPU/RAM gadget shows the cpu at about 60%. The task manager performance graph agrees. I look at the processes in task manager, and order by CPU usage, and the top two or three processes are using 2 or 3%! What gives? Why doesn't the processes window show the processes that are using this 60%of cpu? How do I find out what is using the cpu that much?

Out of curiosity I went to control panel/performance and checked my performance assessment and it reads as following on a scale of 1.0 to 7.I was hoping the boost mode would help the HD run a little faster but I see virus scans still take about the same time.What would you folks do if you wanted this machine to boot faster and run virus scans much faster? (if possible) I would only need about 250G in mass storage.

I ran the start up recovery utility and it couldn't fix it. I did a sys restore, still couldn't fix it. I followed HP's system recovery tools and ran diagnostic tests and finally decided to perform a back-up and reformat back to factory settings.After the new install, I updated everything like java, installed AVG. When I try to talk on windows live messenger (my friend has their webcam on, not me) and try to stream a tv show or watch a video, everything starts crackling and freezing.

It's got a AMD Athlon II X2 215 2.70 ghz processor and 2GB of RAM.Just logging in takes an age and then launching something simple like a browser can take a good few minutes for anything to happen.I've put the CPU gadget on my desktop for a quick guide and although my CPU is about 20%, my ram is often 85%+.I've done the basic servicing processes, like defaging but they've made little difference.I've looked on the Crucial.co.uk website for Ram upgrades and have seen that I can upgrade to 8GB of RAM for less than £40.Would this be a worthwhile investment or is there something else causing the system to be so slow.I myself am a Mac user, so I'm not familiar with ways to improve performance on a PC, but I don't want my parents to struggle with the PC in the way they currently are, so if I can speed things up for them I'd like to be able to.

It seems Halo 2 just doesn't recognise the performance information.I've searched but I haven't found anyone else who has had this problem.I can't believe Microsoft seems to have locked this game into Vista-specific requirements - that violates the basic future-proofing principles that Microsoft has been espousing to programmers for years.
