Hey all,
I just made the jump to running Windows 7 as the only OS on one of machines (2 months ago). I had run 7 as a VM for a while before that. A couple of quick questions:
Does Win7 see a benefit from moving the pagefile to a separate physical drive? Perris, do you have any insight?
How much, if any, performance increase do you get from AHCI vs. IDE mode? IIRC, the OS doesn't benefit much from NCQ. Are there other benefits? Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but one needs to do a clean install as AHCI, correct?
