Message: [QUOTE="mikeyhsd, post: 11691675"] you might check the event logs for the shutdown slowness. [email]mikeyhsd@sprintpcs.com[/email] Hi. I have 2 questions. 1. Is it safe to enable write caching on disk using a notebook? Or it could somohow demage the HD? 2. Is it possible to measure how much memory improvements i get by using a 2gb flash drive as readyboost? 3. I've heard about a free downgrade to windows xp, is that true? I've heard many people insatisfied with windows vista. Many of them really dont have a good machine. With my machine i have a 4,5 WEI which I consider is a good grade and eventhough i think xp is a lot faster thans vista....is this performance normal? I mean, XP turns on and off in a sec or 2 while vista takes like 2-3 mins....Will SP1 fix this or we will have to just accept it? I have a dell notebook/ inspiron 1520/ intel core 2 duo/ 2gb RAM/ 1.5 ghz / nvidia geforce 8600m gt tks [/QUOTE]
