Hey guys, I think there's something wrong with my pc.

I have experienced using 1gbps dedicated servers with download speeds reaching 125MB/s

now I'm using my desktop and my disk to disk copy speed has an average of 80MB/s :( I think something is wrong with my setup.

please help me. could it be the OS i am running or my hardware setup?

full specs:

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T @ 4.2Ghz Stable Overclocked.
G Skill Trident RAM @ 2 x 2GB DDR3 1632 Mhz CL 7-7-7-21
Gigabyte 880GM-UD2H motherboard.
Seagate SATA2 6GB/s HDD
GTX550ti 1Gb/192bit GDDR5 Graphics Card
700w Cougar Modular Powersupply
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x86 (32-bit)

Are you stupid enough to put 32 Bit on a Hex core with 4GB of ram? :P
Come on mate, you're practically throwing your money down the drain.

Also, 80MB/s is VERY fast.
The 1GBit dedi you were using has RAID0 or similar, hence the crazy speeds. Also, RAID0 is highly unstable (kind of like FSO's servers :P)
If you want faster copy speeds, I suggest you go for RAID10. :)

PS: You don't need faster copy speeds than 80MB/s unless you're a scene/p2p encoder. :P

Regards
 
HDD to HDD copy speed ? Or some other type of disk to HDD ?

I don't really see how 80MB/s from HDD to HDD is slow. I don't see how copying files from one partition to other at 80MB/s can be slow :)

mate your seriously stupid to believe that 32 Bit can only use 3.25Gb. Windows Server 2003 32Bit can use upto 32Gb of ram. microsoft is stupid. so i patched the kernel.

80MB/s is slow if you have experienced downloading for 125MB/s from the internet.

Scene / P2P encoder = no
Video Editing for Work = Yes

Try to do Disk fragmentation, have heard it helps

Thanks I'll try this now.
 
yes as you see guys there is a common misconception about 32-bit OS. it's all about licensing.

32-bit MS operating systems are programmed to read only 3.25gb not because it can only handle 3.25gb that's because MS wants you to buy their 64 bit OS.

I can even use 8GB ram with my 32bit OS. there's a patch for the kernel to make it use more than 3.25gb but still there is that 16gb limit so you can't have 4 x 6 on an x58 chipset.

I have a screenshot of my windows benchmark but then again. >< I don't know where to fix the issue

Your HD blows.

Code:

Youre better off with the new HD Black or Velociraptor. Or just get a SSD
 
hey dro thanks for the review page so should I get a barracuda XT or a velociraptor? I heard velociraptors have low lifespans.

Stream I already tried fragmentation
