and what's this overclocking... i had read from a magazine that my motherboard has this feature... how can I use it? and what are the benefits of having an overclocking feature on your computer... tnx...

First off a good upgrade of RAM would do you some good. That is the best upgrade (and cheapest) to make your computer run faster. A 7800 GT will run you anywhere from 320-400 here in the U.S.

another question is....

what are the advantages of having Serial ATA as the interface of your HDD

faster transfer rate than IDE and usally quicker seek time.

oh tnx...

another question?

how can i make the boot of my OS Faster...

slmgringo · 12-12-2005, 04:07 PM

possibly dissabling start up programs you dont need, what OS are you running?

drummerboy · 12-12-2005, 04:19 PM

Windows XP SP 2...

what I mean is how can I make the loading of windows more faster... i think for about 3-5 seconds...

Well, your gona need Raptors for 3-5 Seconds, but if you want to use your HDD that you have now, run msconfig and take off anything on startup you dont need.

Even Raptors don't do 3-5 seconds. The POST time would probably take that long.
