Vista very slow

[Guest]

I'm running the 5384 Beta 2 on that machine:

XP 2600+ running at 2200 MGHZ
1,25 GB DDR 400 Ram's 2-3-3-6 1T
GeForce 5900 with 128 MB's

RAID 0 with 2 Seagate's on a Silicon Image 3112 Softcontroller (onboard)...

It runs very poor... It saves something on the discs the whole time, and
that makes it very slow i guess....

Give it a while..it eventually stops doing that. It's indexing the
contents and it also automatically defrags the drive. Mine seemed to do
it all the time for the first couple of days but stopped once I'd got
everything installed and left it alone for a while.

It's likely defragmenting with the very poorly made defrag program that barely
works. It will stop eventually. It won't be the indexing of the computer, that
only takes a couple minutes max. One other thing that you could try is changing
the RAM configuration so that it runs in dual-channel, but that would only help
if your motherboard supports dual channel. It gives a huge boost in the system
rating for memory.

There is a 30 day trial of Diskeeper 10 Professional with Vista support
available. It's FAR better than Windows defrag.

I bought Diskeeper 9 for XP and I think I'll probably buy 10 too at
some point.

I am running Vista Beta 2 on a Gateway P4-2ghz computer with 768 megs of
RAM and it runs quite fast. Almost as fast as Windows XP.
