How many processes do you have?

dont feel like cutting it down. i shut off a few of them the rest i dont care about. my system is fast as it is atm i used to be all about performance. so i used to tighten down hard on my system. now i just OC and my Os i just dont put shit on. I realized about a year ago benching etc was over rated. since it only seems to be butt hurt 17yr/o kids doing it now.

 

I'm now down to 46. Thats as low I want to go.

I'm with ya there. I don't even have Vantage installed anymore. I'm all about Photoshop and game performance now.

 

same here. i havent installed a bench in awhile. i even bought the keys. the only thing i have atm is science mark. i submitted to JR's thread a few hours ago. more because iv never seen the results of i3-i7 arch do that test.

 

I for one need to upgrade up to DDR3 but honestly I'm looking at a Vertex 2 instead. I'm torn like an old sweater.

 

71, non-tweak OS, few IMs, Chrome, WMP, WMC, utorrent.

No need for any tweaking.. because it's already fast enough.

 

Fast enough? You have no place among the TPUzers.

 

meh its not that great. the speeds nice but its spendy. i went from 6 to 4 and i max it quickly multitasking. I wish i had the 6 or 10 i had on my old i7 rig. or even the 8 i had on my 775 rig. imo the speed isnt that important. for people like you or me quantity is better than speed. i run at 2100mhz but if i only float 256mb away from 100% usage the speed doesnt hide the fact that my system is now crawling to a standstill. I wouldnt reccomend it. Get the HDD or MORE ram if you have the funds.

 

I'm already at 8 gigs of DDR2. The SSD will only be for OS and Photoshop. The Caviar Black will be for games and data.

 

I usually leave Firefox, Steam, and a couple of other applications open so it's normally 80-85 for me.

 

seems legit then. id get the SSD with 8 i wouldnt worry about DDR3 unless you replaced it with 8.

 

Erocker will break off in my ass but you made up my mind.

 

i have the pleasure of talking with erocker on TS frequently. Im sure i'll hear about it. So dont worry.

 

i'd have to disagree, sorry solaris, but when i had 4GB of DDR-2 of OCZ Reapers @ 1066 and switched over to 4GB of A-Data's @ 1066, i saw a big difference, about 25%, so i'd personally save up and get 8GB of DDR3

 

You guys still chat on Easys server?

 

thats exactly what i said........dont get it unless he's getting the same amount he currently has. if you multitask or use resource intensive apps like we do going from 8GB 1066 to 4GB 1600+ is a complete waste of money to upgrade. its faster but fast doesnt matter if it cant be used. like a porsche with no gas savvy?

 

meh we have a private one. easy likes to ban us from his.

TS is an old pasttime. iv been on it for quite some time. and they used it far before i was invited.

 

but if i had a porche i'm pretty sure i'd have gas

 

78

 

My XP SP3 install has 29 at startup.

 

why don't you put all that power to use then and crunch?

 

im check my work pc now it say 64

 

im always around 60 i just don't know what to turn off
