I have the following desktop: Link Removed My “MO” is generally to keep things “default” unless there is a good reason why I should change the way something is set up. An example is that I read SSDs wear out over time so it is better to put the paging file on a separate disk. Hence, I...

I just got a new i7 with windows 7 64 bit on it yesterday. Everything was slow, and I figured out why, but don't really understand why, or what I can do to keep it from happening in the future. Yesterday I attached it to an external NTFS drive that had a bunch of bad sectors, copied over...
