Wife has been complaining that if she has to boot her PC up over breakfast, then by the time she is into the web browser her breakfast is finished.
I disabled Steam from auto starting which got loads of time back, and found a 10 second pointless delay in the BIOS (AsusGate I think it was called, never used it probably never will).
Down to about a minute and a half from power button to browser, so I grabbed an 8GB USB3 flash drive that says it can do 100MB/sec read speed 55MB/sec write, formatted it for NTFS, and told Windows to use all of it for readyboost. So far I can't feel any difference at all.
PC is a 3.4GHz Phenom II quad core with 4GB of RAM and a new WD Black hard drive. It used to have an SSD, but that failed after about 6 months so she doesn't want another one.
Any suggestions? Other than chew more slowly when having breakfast![]()
