I don't use a swap/pagefile. I guess this makes a huge difference it hard drive performance due to lessened I/O conflicts between system and user I/O requests.HIVOLTAG3 said:

What do you mean by DP? :/
P.S.
I guess corruption is mostly due to RAID controller failure. Then I will have bigger things to worry about such as replacing the motherboard. Best thing to do is backup everything

I don't know if those are options in Intel ICHR controller. I can't remember really.HIVOLTAG3 said:ohh ...
but many servers still using raid systems. i think
dp (distributed parity) ddp(dual distributed parity).[sorry abt bad english
yehh backup is better..

Nope. It will (i.e. switching to Linux - any linux!!!) degrade performance much much more. Unless of course you are talking about a "stripped down version of Vista"madurax86 said:Changing the OS will work for sure
And smaller the better with or without RAID...thats what i think tho
That's because Linux users are very less sensitive to slow downs. I mean when I was using Ubuntu, it was VERY slow, but I didn't get annoyed for that slowness. Windows XP on the same system is super fast, but I get annoyed even then!! I don't know why. I guess Linux makes people numbmadurax86 said:

that was wine+linux if it was native ubuntu would do better[if you want proof I'll provide]Probably because with *nix the speed stays the same through out its entire lifetime as opposed to windows which is fast at the beginning but slows down over time.Anusha said:That's because Linux users are very less sensitive to slow downs.

OH btw, VMWare gives almost same performance as Windows in these things! There is nothing so special about WINE.madurax86 said:About performance[non hard drive related]
I dont think so...i did 2 super pi 1M calculations in winXP and in ubuntu 8.04 with wine both up real close
Hard drive related
Hmm may be there will be a slow down because of swap but you can still run it with swap turned off
Weird, how it never happened to me in Vista... If anything happened that was due to me doing unwanted stuff in Admin mode, and that is same as *sabotaging* as Linux systems in root.kosandpol said:
Native Ubuntu programs are really slow what can I say. WINE programs are always a pain to setup, even with a guide.madurax86 said:Its not wine[wine actually slows it down] its all mighty ubuntu that does the speeding up still windows wont run a native linux program that gud

Ans servers never use JUST RAID-0. Mirroring is always used, and MAYBE striping with it. And also they never use the *poor* integrated RAID solutions. I guess they are very reliable.
