ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[humeyboy]

All superfetch will do is make your hdd's die an early death.
I have tested Vista with it enabled and disabled, of little benifit to run it unless you like the constant clacking of your hdd's...

That's total nonsense, Superfetch is using the Memory.

Indexing uses the HDD more and I disable it.

A modern HDD's MTTF is more than you will ever need anyhow.

Stick to OC'ing mate and I stick to Beta Testing MS OS's officially and understanding how they work.

I previously had 2 Raptor X's and I can tell you they are well noticeable when clanking as you put it, its not Superfetch that does it, its indexing and System Restore and there is plenty of guides around to tell you how to tame down a HDD in Vista.

A HDD is the oldest slowest bottleneck of any PC and you want to keep OC'ing the tits off of all hardware but slow it down even more because its waiting on the HDD ?

The best advise I got years aback from a MS rep was to stop buying faster CPU/RAM etc and get HDD as fast as possible, that meant buy fastest modern HDD (at that time) and Raid 0 2 of them.

Best advise I ever got.
