Flipping PC, Bad Idea to XP install on my IDE drive, made everything well slow.
Just installed to a SATA partition tonight after having enough of running an uber slow machine.

We were talking at least 10 minutes to boot from clicking my username to being able to actually start up an application.

And as for gaming, HA forget it. I couldn't run a thing without using the ATI Fusion app to terminate non essential processes.

A damn big improvement now.
Just fired up Timeshift which runs lovely again (See screenshots I took)
