[QUOTE="Owlsroost, post: 594179, member: 83973"] I run a similar setup, and I turned off Superfetch ages ago (for the same reasons - too much disk activity at times when you don't want it). I have normal prefetch enabled, but I can't remember which prefetch registry settings I settled on - I'll check when I get a chance. I've recently been experimenting with running with the swap file disabled - no problems so far and it does seem to make the system more responsive (but don't try it with less than 4GB RAM - my system uses (commits) about 1.8GB of RAM with MP and a few utilities running, so I've got reasonable headroom). EDIT: My current prefetch related reg settings are below: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters] "EnableSuperfetch"=dword:00000000 "EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000003 i.e. superfetch is off, and prefetch is fully enabled Tony [/QUOTE]
