Bit of a gaming / photochopper / music maker, so always try to have a killer rig:

So whats your Win 7 index?

If you don't know, copy " Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Performance Information and Tools " into a file explorer window. Then run, and post the screen cap here.

Little tip. If you don't know already, hold 'LEFT ALT' and 'PRINT SCREEN' (like you would ALT-TABbing to switch a window or CTRL&letter to get a capital) then open up an image program (yes, even paint) and CTRL-V (or select paste from one of the file menus if that doesn't work).

Saves having massive desktop shots on here.

So anyway:

Are you running an SSD?

Anyway, here's mine


Not bad for a system I built back in summer 2006

Q6600 2.4ghz
4gb ddr2 ram
Nvidia 8800GTS
WD 320gb HDD

Yep.

Only for OS though (to minimise writes). Temp files and such moved to D:\ (600GB WD Raptor 10,000RPM), no backups / restore points and a fully optmised Win7 means I can boot from switch on into Windows and fully work in under 10 seconds. On and off within 15. Ain't timed it bang on, but it's awesome (and no longer a fresh install! - It's up and running times!)

My main hard drive is dieing but apart from that my computer isn't that bad.

Only been on 7 for a few months, previously a die-hard XP fan. Only use my Window machine for gaming, everything else I tend to use my Mac Book Pro.

its cr*p!

thank god i have an Iphone to help me get on google to fix the damn login fault that appeared out of nowhere!

Bugtastic.

Please find below my Windows 7 index

The downfall is the harddrive - i opted to go for capacity rather than performance.
2 HD's
1.5tb Samsung spinpoint F2
2 tb samsung spinpoint f3
