I have a Windows Vista Ultimate box I built with an E6400 Core 2 Duo
Processor, 2GB of ddr2-800 RAM, and a WD Raptor 10k hard drive and 1GB
ReadyBoost drive.
The one thing which is driving me nuts about Windows Vista compared to XP is
the idle drive activity - its insane!
I disabled Windows Search Service, which I really liked but couldnt deal
with the disk activity.
Doing anything that requires setting a System Restore point (like installing
an application) - will send the disk into a frenzy for over 5 minutes!
But the most annoying part is that I will be playing a game, and suddenly
Vista will start hammering my disk - I have *no idea* why this happens - it
doesnt happen under XP with the same RAM. It ruins the playability of my
game and is just hell.
Anyone know any other tweaks or the possible source of all this disk
crunching madness???
