Can we please keep this topic to one post? Making multiple posts will
only clutter things up and make it more difficult to follow. As I

perhaps install the Intel Application Accelerator if your chipset
supports it. If you had RAID on your old computer, the disk speed is
going to appear slower if this new computer doesn't have RAID.
