A year or two ago, I fitted a StarTech 3.5" Sata hd caddy-less drive bay,
into a 5.25" bay, in my Antec Solo case|Asus M3N78 | Phenom II X4 3.2ghz cpu
| 2x1gb Crucial Ballistix, so that I could quickly swap hard-disks between
my gorgeous, robust, reliable, problem free (which takes a good deal of
expertise including an occasional quick Ghost backup before changing the
palatform in any way - so that I can restore it in 6 minutes flat if
necessary), XP Home edition, in which I do everything,
....and my other hard-disk with Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit version on it, wth
which I occasionally dabble, and gradually prepare it for XP's end of
product life !
Now, W7 is grindingly slow, and I've pondered on imaging it onto a SSD, and
swapping out memory modules for bigger ones - perhaps 2x4gb ? or would it be
better to simply add an extra 2x1gb into my two spare memory slots, which,
if I did, would enable channel interleave, (which would become available to
W7, when 2x2x1gb modules are fitted, in addition to Page interleave,
.....and with 2x2x1gb of memoury fitted how would the motherboard memory
controller behave with regard to XP, as regards to page-interleave and XP's
less than 4gb's use of avaialable memory ? ...if you see what I mean ?
