i would like to make it faster say when using nero etc the time it take to convert avi file to dvd etc is slow the burn process from start to finish is about 4-5 hours, i dont really do gaming, i use kasperskys sercurity suite so some mb is lost there i suppose ,i was having some real issues with xp since of late so i have bought a new hard drive as old one was full and have re-installed windows but now i cannot access the old files from my old hard drive, i have set old hd to slave but when i connect it boots windows up from from the old hard drive. i am probably being a bit silly and most people would say that there is nothing wrong with my computer, i am just one of these guys who want everything fast and top spec and up to date was even looking today at Dell's quad core tower! I do a lot of digital photo and have a nikon slr so i use alot of software like magix movie edit pro, photoshop cs3 and nikon picture project and it can sometime be a bit on the slow side but that is me prob being impatient.
