ReBoot Time

on a dell inspiron manufactured before vista was available.. found on a pile of garbage shortly after most of the college students left for the summer.. spent $40 for memory and it's probably faster than it ever was running xp.

If that person only new what they threw away, and how it can be made into a nice speedy machine.

no kidding.. wish I could find more like that.

Clean install of 7, but but it is half a minute slower than when my laptop HDD was nearly full


It was 86 seconds before the clean install

could propably get it a lot faster but theres actually no point since i never close my cpu (sometimes restart after new drivers and stuff or powerfailure, but havent use shut down button once this year )


EDIT: DAMN YOU LILDOMII!!!
edit2: gonna have to use my car money to get a laptop with RAM-based solid state drive
