i have gigabyte intel 945 pl-s3 rev2 3.0 ghz intel pentium4 with 2mb l2 cache 4 gb ram 160 gb hdd western digital caviar sata windows vista ultimate i get 30-40 mb/sec file transfer speed is it normal or can i get more
You can certainly get more speed with a different CPU, preferably a dual-core. But for the record, 30-40MBPS isn't bad and it's not worth the upgrade for this issue. I get 45-55 with my Pentium D processor and Seagate SATA drive. Your specs are considerably good but if your looking to squeeze out some more speed check out your hard drive's write speed and also if it has a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. If they're low you can get a newer HDD.
i do get 50-60 without norton internet security 2008 but i guess the speed is good yes SATA 3.0Gb/s thanx alot 4the reply
working great and fast but the 2009 version is alot faster cant wait for the crack it is the best internet security i have ever tried
The last Norton i tried was 2004 and it was horrible. Didn't block anything. I've had AVG ever since and its amazing. I'd like to give Norton a try one of these days...
