check firmware and upgrade if necessary

eager to see the results, i mean ... in the jmke's comparo there were so many apps loading still astonishing -40sec to boot Win7

I'll be sure to test my XP performace on it, it boots in half a progressbar on a hdd ^^ (fully tweaked)

only pron sir, no os

Just ttried a quick install of Vista, seems to be waaaaaaay faster in bootup then my 500GB F1 samsung lol...

I'l pass the drive between members to play with it.

what would be the best way to partition it ? 20GB x 3 ?

Thx for the link John will realign it tomorrow... where would we be without the internet ?

jmke · 22nd April 2009, 22:26

partition size and amount has no effect on performance

one big drive is easiest

what firmware do you have?

leeghoofd · 23rd April 2009, 08:07

I prefer to have the 3 osses I bench on straight installed John, so XP on first partition, then server 2003 and Vista...

Will realign the drive and then go with the 3 installs.... if I need to do some tests plz let me know what you wish... ( too bad my raptor is still in RMA )

Will check firmware too...

Will ask Aquatuning some more blocks for the I7 round up...

jmke · 23rd April 2009, 08:33

put Vista on first partition and align.

I'm having some issues with 3dvantage, i always get this error (even at stock clocks) at the CPU test 2 :

ID3D10Device::Create Vertex shader failed: An invalid parameter was passed to the returning function (E_INVALIDARG)

Tried to reinstall vantage, hotfix too, 3 latest Nvidiot drivers tested...even underclocked the crap out of my rig...

No go

I HATE VISTA lol

Firmware issue?

This guy has the error due to first graphic test ...
