Big difference after formatting.
This is the first time I've re-used a HDD and didn't think it would make a difference but after starting from scratch everything is a ton quicker today.
Thanks for the advice.
No... I re-used my old HDD and just re-installed windows on it without formatting it first. I asked the question on another site and someone else mentioned formatting also. It looks like I'll be formatting tonight.
I just built my 3rd computer today and was expecting a huge difference in speed and I am not really happy with the results...
I went from:
Athlon 64 3800+ to a Phenom x4 9550
Asus A8v Deluxe 939 pin Mobo to Asus M3N78 Pro AM2+ Mobo
1 gig ram to 4 gig PC6400 800 ram
ATI 800 pro 128mb AGP8 video...
