Show Us Your WEI [4]

Yep that would be upsetting Lady
But then again I don't believe I could buy a large item/s like that via the net anyway,
Locally usually is best for several reasons :/

BlackFriday will be fun
I doubt I'll wait though and I'm looking at pre-BFriday deals instead closely
Best deals so far are crucial 128 mx100 for about 70.us.
Crucial 256 mx100 @ 109.
whs got the last deal at 89. I was too late

I pulled the trigger on three monitors last Sunday after NewEgg lowered the price. Today, they cut the price another ten shekels (mutter, mutter, mumble, mumble).

I'm still waiting for a sale on four 4 TB Greens.

Did you pay by CC?

If so, most CC let you match the price for as long as 60 days after payment.

Thats what I do all the time with my cards. Works great

Unless something isn't available locally. I live in a megalopolis and it's like living in the boondocks when it comes to shopping.

Life in the big city,
Lots of noise but lots of competition it's a split decision

Well, I'm not waiting anymore. They just dropped in price $15 each so I pulled the trigger. That takes care of Christmas for the next two years and my birthday for next year. Now, watch them drop the price again.

Good job, Mike. Keep it up and we'll have you building a new computer.

 

[ThrashZone]

I am thinking of re-casing this one
I have a x-p pro case gateway
Already has a better power supply 300 verses 220 watt :/
Not sure if any of the connections would apply though to the acer board ?

Mike can you have a look at event 100 and tell me what the boot time is. To get to event 100, drill down this chain:

Eventvwr

Applications and Service Logs

Microsoft

Windows

Diagnostics - performance

Operational

Event ID 100

Mike, Your total boot time is 69.8 seconds. The nums are all in ms.

 

[ThrashZone]

Yea I saw that and that was the last one,
Allot before were much faster 42210ms/ 45522/ 42241/ 41936...

 

[whs]

For a SSD, it should be under 20sec. You may want to check your startup programs. You can disable all of them except the AV program (which very often is not even shown because AVs use a different mechanism).

 

[ThrashZone]

Yea I have a light startup,
a-v is mse
But I did go into Superantispyware settings and deselected startup with windows possibly that will help otherwise there's only three other startup items and I might uninstall adobe reader it somehow snuck in there :/
Thanks
Cheers.

Just double checked that on mine, and even with this beast of a machine my average boot time is between 22 and 25 seconds. You sure about generalizing an "under 20 second" boot time..? I imagine my case might be due to my Crucial M500 being rated with a lower speed than most others, but I'd say anything under 30 seconds for a cold boot is acceptable for an SSD, accounting for other hardware components.

 

[ThrashZone]

Looking better now 26510 which should be 26.51s
Most likely adobe reader but sas has been said to be bloated :/

 

[whs]

You sure about generalizing an "under 20 second" boot time

The around 20 sec is my experience. If you are 22 or 25, you are in this realm. The under 20 sec is for a good configuration and would be my objective.

Makes sense.. I just wanted to double check what you meant, just to satisfy my own curiosity.
