RGone Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 Thanks man as I have been doing some checking for 'fast shutdown' on my daily thang. RGone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAE Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 Yeah. Clearing pagefile at windows shutdown definately brings a bit of security to our windoze, but slows down the shutdown badly... Dunno if it's linked or two different thing though... I only know it's 5 times faster at least, depending on the size of the swapfile... Startup speed can be accelerated by using faster hdds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took my raid and thought about a bit of testing with single drives as there are some probs with raid and APIC... bang. I can live with the lower hdd performance now, thus gaining stability with APIC on and no more hardlocks clocking my rig in windoze Temps get warmer outside now Only -52°C load temps at 3.1GHz LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundx98 Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 Hardrives you say, prolly looking for a cool and free temperature monitor for those hard drives. may want to check out: http://www.rsdsoft.com/hdd-thermometer/index.php?lang=eng EDIT: Getting an occasional temp jump on the SATA to 227 degres. Goes back down immediately but flashs an overheat warning when triggered. Works fine on my ATA drives though.

Does this mean it's overriding bios setting or can it scan the HDD's without the need for S.M.A.R.T to be on in bios. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saulous Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 DUDES That dword value of 5 for EnablePrefetcher IS CRAB. If it is 5 it is same as it is 0; off. The real values are 0,1,2, and 3.
