I just thought moving your page file to a different hard drive might help with your disk performance. I'm downloading chrome right now to see if it has any affects on performance for me.

There is more tweaks in the Adapter Properties, you need to enable them, not sure what any of it does, be careful.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
"DisableTaskOffload"=0
You need that in your registry
Might want to do some more reading before you just go an enable a registry tweak / HD tweak without some reference. Cartel supplied the MSFN link, be *sure* to read that first - carefully.
Also, a lot of folks (most notably those using Seagate Barracudas) have been experiencing poor HD performance in their WEI scores *and* in HD speed tests built into W7. I have a small workaround for those using nForce boards and 'Cudas, see https://www.sevenforums.com/general-d...html#post10171 - but this problem exists (without the ability to fix it)for others also using 'Cudas *and* Maxtor drives and *not* using nForce boards.
Finally, you should research your hardware a lot more - why type of HDs do you have, what are the settings, are they installed and jumpered correctly, is your BIOS allowing full bandwidth for your drives, etc.
Finally, remember this: W7 *is* a beta OS - and throughput is one of the problems that W7 hasn't quite fixed yet - early reports show that Vista is still faster in throughput than W7.
Added the following:
Also, do realize that 1) I have no issues when DL/ing and multitasking, and 2) I at times do seriously high powered downloading - GrabIt News Group Binary grabber, at sustained speeds to 2500 KB/s and / or Various *.ISO downloads from M$ and Linux ISO sites - sustained speeds of 2500 - 3100 KB/s.
I have no issues at all except when I let Fx use DTA to DL a file - then I get a minor lag when it first starts, which last typically a couple of seconds.
Wow, how ironic, it was Grabit that I first realized this problem so if you can fix it maybe I can? I then noticed the same thing if downloading from browser, you know, felt like 256MB of ram instead of 2GB in in it.
Here are my specs.
Its a Western Digital Hard Drive and its the thin wire, serial right.
It is configured as cable select.
I don't know if there is a setting in the bios and have no idea what to look for.
There are a few BIOS updates from Intel.
The motherboard is Intel
Ummmmmmmm not sure what else to ask for. Didn't do the register update yet.
I had this problem very badly.... the system IO would lock up and the cpu was always maxed at 100%, with kernel cpu times sitting at 70-80% on all tasks...
I fixed it by flashing my board BIOS to a later version. Was on a GA P35-S3 board.
It is also possible it was fixed by the bios flash setting the drive settings back to IDE Legacy from AHCI, which was a side effect of the flashing.
Before I fixed the problem, Win 7 was a horrid laggy piece of crud.....
Afterwards, Win 7 is the best OS release from MS so far. Guess they will finally get me to ditch XP :)
Well I did a flashing of the bios then copied some files 800MB from the desktop to the desktop and it was faster, ~45MB or so.
I then copied some files from the PUBLIC user folder and sure enough it slowed to .500K or so. Therefore I am conviniced that its a bug. Has to be.
Can someone else confirm? Love this place.
Sorry about the last post (firewire=crash when changed sample rate), didn't know there was a audio forum and probably would have posted here as this was a BSOD but if audio means any audio device regardless of peripheral, then I will post from now on in Audio forums. Again, love this place. Cool stuff.
