Apache,
I already have Raid 0 setup. But I do want to increase processor computation
speed - it helps in particular simulations that I do. I was thinking about
even upgrading processer, but reinstalling windows to do that? That sux!
I thought there may be some simple command or something that I could migrade
user data and settings. After all it is still somewhere on hardrive. Plus, it
does recognise my account and password, it simply puts different desktop,
when I change speed in BIOS.
Regards,
MxM
