Hum, I never compared those attributes. I'll have to go back and see if the
low memory was just a coincidence compared to the drive speed.

Thanks!

In addition he posts only links. No data of his own. Oh well.

Except people view that as Vista NEEDING that RAM thus Vista being a hog. I
wonder if there's a way to turn off SuperFetch for a comparison?

If the drive has an indicator light - its flashing is an indication of its
