Sometimes this tweaking you have to do yourself. I tweaked my hard drive in my laptop and got over a 600% increase in performance. My drive reads went from 4 M/S to over 21M/s. Just from a few little tweaks. I'm not saying you will get that kind of increase for your system, but you do have to work with it and learn it a bit before you start saying it's slow. And it's hard to compare apples to oranges. If you have two completely same systems and one was slower, then you could compare a bit better. -=/>Thom
