need suggestions for upgrading my desktop
Hello,
This is my first post! Ok, i have a powerspec g200 that is use as a work computer. I run GIS and MatLab software. Sometimes it takes 3-4 days to run a single code with big "while" in MatLab and i would obviously like this to take less time.
what i have-
Processor
Intel® Core™ i7 - 920 Processor
OS
Windows Ultimate 64 Bit
System Board
Intel DX58SO
Memory
Kingston HyperX 12GB Kit (3x4GB Modules) 1600MHz
Hard Drive
1.28TB RAID 0 - (2 x 640GB SATA HDDs) 7,200 RPM
DVD ±R/±RW Drive
22x Dual Layer DVD±R/±RW Drive
Video
Dual Radeon HD4670 PCI Express cards in Crossfire™
Power Supply
500 Watts
I upgraded the ram about 3 months age. Also, I recently bought a 60GB patriot inferno SSD to put my OS on! It should be here in a week.
I notice that my total processor usage will be ~60-70% and ram usage ~11GB when running some codes. Any suggestions to make this thing run faster?
Would getting a couple of velociraptors help?
thanks
