Okay, for some reason, Task Manager is telling me I have 100% disk activity, and its going on all day long. This suddenly showed up a couple days ago and I have no idea why. I have not changed anything significant, like installing or updating any programs. Tonight I did do an optional...

I've already disabled Superfetch and sysmain, but my disk usage is still always at 100%. How do I fix this? Not sure if that's related to my random fps dropping? Help with fps dropping is appreciated too.

When a 64-bit application compiled with /LARGEADDRESSAWARE:NO option is running in the 64-bit versions of Windows Vista or in the 64-bit versions of Windows 7, the system may experience CPU spike for 1-2 minutes and this goes on in-definitely. In this...

I believe Prefetch was created for Win XP and Superfetch was an improvement for Vista.
In my Win 7 registry I have Prefetcher and Superfetch. Notice the different spellings for each? One is followed by “er” but not the other.
Is Prefetcher the same or different than Prefetch...

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forums. Like many, I've had problems in the past about Window 7's notorious wireless lag-spike issue. However, after having done some tweaking today, I think I actually managed to fix the problem without downloading any network drivers/graphic drivers. I disabled...
ive been testing superfetch ON OFF to see what performance gains/loss is like - i got some unusual unexpected behaviour in that turning it OFF in registry did not work, disabling the superfetch service works somewhat in that it still prefetchs stuff into RAM just not as much whereas before when...
when trying to process recorded tv files into dvd files using nero the hard drive read/write is huge and the process monitor shows the 'system' file is monopolising the hard drive. i disabled superfetch and that stopped it at the time but it now keeps happening and i can't see whats causing it...

Hi all,
I have been doing allot of research on Win7's Task Manager, in particular the Performance Tab because I am getting issues I am not understanding.

Total: amount of RAM installed on your computer
Cached: amount of physical memory used recently for system...

I have used Windows Server 2008 for a long time and I should say it is a very fast and reliable operating system. Server 2008 has many features disabled by default, which allows it to have better memory management and run faster than Vista. You can enable a number of features if you need them...
With regard to Win7 setup for an SSD.
How to check the status of Superfetch/ReadyBoost/ Prefetch? I see in properties of my 2 SSDs under "policies" tab a setup for "Write -caching policy". Is this relevant?
Superfetch does not seem to be loading commonly used programs & system files into memory at startup the same way Vista does. Isn't Windows 7 supposed to be faster? I have a high end PC and after running the release candidate on here for the past week I have noticed that Vista actually ran...
