    20.116 in safe mode. Mines an over-clocked dual core pentium, so am pleased for an older spec machine that I spent virtually nothing on when refurbishing.
    Oh well...

    6.601 sec. i7-2600k with a slight overclock, 8gb RAM and a 128gb Crucial SSD, was previously running 2 in a RAID 0 but decided to split them and dedicate one to the virtual machines and one to the OS.
    System could really do with a clean though, HDD has less than a GB free, ive got quite a lot of processes running in the background as I run lots of virtual machines/GNS3

    Very good that. I assume you bought a new computer in the last year or so?

    Built myself last year (with advice from all over the place on what to buy!!)

    Just seen a post on running it in safe Mode. will that improve things ......?

    Only as far as the sillyness goes, Try trebling your ram(not effective), and switch all off the electrical bits in the house, stop your ethernet card and wireless and bluetooth, stop all of the USB ports, and the cd/dvd/blueray bits, plus printer spooling , indexing , RPC services,antivirus,firewall etc . If it runs faster don't switch any of them back on...you won't get a virus, you won't be able to report back your results of course unless you do it from you phone:rotfl::rotfl:
