Decided to upgrade to a reasonably high spec but am disappointed with the results. It must be me at fault but not sure what to do.
I use newsgroups a lot. A 13 episode series normally downloads in around 18 minutes and decodes almost instantly whilst still downloading. Just tried 6 episodes with my new setup, downloading naturally the same but took close on 2 hours to decode!!
Browsing whilst using Grabit is extremely slow as is trying to run any other program. I've attached a screenshot of my setup.
By the way, xp pro is a temporary measure. The solid state hard drive I ordered was faulty and is being returned to Corsair. Spent a few hours trying to install an os on it.
