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.
 
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.

it might, try it :) there will be MAJOR issues though. it will think that all of your programs are installed, etc. better off to do a total copy.
 
how can i tweak it more cuz all i did was remove a BUNCH of programs off teh satrtup list... and how do i make the little windows loading bar go faster?
 
what are the advantages of having Serial ATA as the interface of your HDD

HDD 101

faster transfer rate than IDE and usally quicker seek time.

Quicker seek time is a benifit of the drive mechanics, between similar model drives (differing only interface) there's no difference. As for the transfer rate, theres also probably no difference as a whole and its moreso an onpaper advantafe

Raptors wont load windows in 3-5 seconds. iRam or other solidstate approaches might work but raptors sure as hell wont
