At what income level do you consider someone is rich?

anyone that can afford something in excess. like a car with gold plated rims/grill or an ivory backscratcher...etc. a quote i've heard many times throughout my life. "as long as i owe you money, you'll never be poor"

Pagefile use when having lots of ram

and i can see some of the points made here. but some of us home users who just do one thing at a time with plenty of ram, should be fine. mine runs the same since i turned it off so far.

Does anyone think Superfetch is necessary on SSD drives?

yes, significant. boots/shutsdown way faster, applications load instant, games load up noticably faster. zero noise. but i wouldnt recommend anyone spend $800 on one though lol but when you use one you definitly realize what a bottleneck even a fast HD like the Velociraptor is, which i'm now...

Does anyone think Superfetch is necessary on SSD drives?

pretty much what i was thinking when i made the thread but figured i'd ask to be sure. even if SF can make it faster, with the speed of SSD i dont see how its possible to notice.

X-fi Fatlity Pro

ok, well i narrowed some things down a bit. tried several driver versions..same thing each one. it appears to be the shutdown process itself which causes the problem on the first boot up, but not on sequential reboots. for instance, if i shutdown, then boot on. i have no audio device. its as...

Does anyone think Superfetch is necessary on SSD drives?

but as i was saying SD makes apps appear instantanious. so theres no way to test SF. its like instant vs instant. recently read that MS is doing tests for Windows 7 to see wether or not to have SF turned off by default for those with SD drives.
