sesdave,
Now is all that baldness due to puters or is it really the wife/girlfriend/kids ??
A..hummmm...
Now...., have you tried disabling some of the graphical features/effects in vista?
Some of them can tend to make programs seem more sluggish at times.
I wouldn't characterize my Vista Ultimate 32bit experience with my first P5K-P as being/feeling slow exactly... if anything it was maybe on par to slightly slower than when running the Striker Extreme, yet did seem a bit slow compared to the experience I remember when running my older P5W DH Board.
I'm not sure what it was about the P5W, it just felt snappier in certain situations. The new P5K-P certainly has that feel to it and maybe a little improvement to boot.
One interesting thing to note is that with the first Premium I could noticeably see a difference in boot times depending on the settings used in the BIOS. With this new board it seems to boot consistently every time.
I had a P5W and it was very zippy with winxp , e6600 3.6 and 2x1GB compared with this one with Vistax64,q6600 3.6 and 4x1GB ram. I had hoped for more on this setup - course at my age it could be my memory of the P5W performance letting me down. Maybe SP1 will cure(in my dreams!). I have done all the tweaks and service disabling that are around. Anyways its time for a Vistax64 reinstall -its been weeks and I have nothing else to do! This time I will try the matrix raid 0/1 and see what that does for me. Probably nothing apart from improving my HD tune pictures -lol!. !
