I have a question wendell.

You mention third party defragers, I used to use defraggler I am just wondering what's your opinion on that or should I switch to diskkeeper or perfectdisk?

yes, that helps but keep in mind that the built-in defragmentation program may not care where a file is, just that it is as contiguous as possible. Might check out diskkeeper or perfectdisk (3rd party defrag utils) for more info.

also windows does some stuff behind your back to make itself faster (google "windows prefetch") but generally this stuff doesn't apply to work files.
