I watched that Bill Gates video and it humored me and at the end it said it had been edited by tweakvista.com, and i just started running vista so i was curious to see what sort of tips they had...
so i was looking through it and one of the links said "increase your SATA HD performance" so i checked it out and this is what i found...
Do you have a SATA disk drive in your computer? If so, you can squeeze a little more performance out of your hard disk. This speeds up the performance of your hard disk by enhancing write caching. However, if your computer is not connected to a battery backup
and you loose power you have a increased risk for data loss or corruption. If you have a laptop your chances are data loss or corruption are dramatically less since your laptop battery will kick on if your power source is lost. Let's get started:
- Click on the Start Button and key in Device Manager and hit Enter.
- Expand Disk Drives.
- Right click on your hard drive and select Properties.
- On the Policies tab, check Enable advanced performance.
- Hit OK and close Device Manager.
I started laughing out loud when i got to step four. it reminds of my summers as a tech at the school when josh jeff and i would go from class to class cleaning up the old computers and we would laugh about the turbo button which would boost from like 12 mhz to 33 mhz...
enable advanced performance... i love it.
