which is more I/O read intense—-> win7 or winsrv08r2?

[pondo]

Well then MS needs to make a win7 or win8 build for those devices then. Windows mobile 7 is a joke.

Welcome to the site. Glad to have you here.

Yes, but it depends on having network access 24/7. I’d like a local solution. * sigh *

Wow I think I’m sold on eboostr! Thanks much for the insight!

Windows CE isn’t all that great. It powers my Magellan brand GPS and it crashes all the time.

Oh SSDs are damn fast.

Ok with my media server witch is running
2008R1—> Boot time–>240 secs. SF—>On
2008R1—> Boot time–>220 secs. SF—>Off

Keep in mind this is running a TON of things in startup required for media.

R2—>Boot time–>130 secs. SF—>Off

windows 7—>Boot time–>38 secs. SF—>Off
windows 7—>Boot time–>85 secs. SF—>Off

My build will have full UX theme patches and dreamscenes and extra eye candy. I will have 3 builds. This shall take me a while though. I got 3 kids to raise and another on the way. Hope they don’t get in the way too much.

One build will be uber mini for better actual server performance.

One will have Uber eye candy and I will make custom UX themes

One will be for gamers and overclockers and people who run GP-GPU stuff.

(I may work on a laptop build at one point)

I love VirtualBox. I use it to run Ubuntu on this machine for development.

I would love to see more changes in Server 2012, Server 8, Windows Hibachi, or whatever they shall call it. I’d like to see them optimize it further. I did fine Windows Server 2008 R2 was much faster on SSD drives then R1 was. I am currently using my R1 machine for media server in my huge house. The kids watch movies on it that I approve rather then having cable TV where they can be exposed to things I don’t want them to see. It has been working great over the past 2 years.

I am using R2 as my main server.

I am getting ideas sitting on the deck sipping coffee on the laptop (I might put R2 on it anyone know if it is good on laptops? I currently have vista x64 on this HP. I would like to still further my R2 custom build, I might just make one for laptops as well if it will work out. I want to create a custom build of R2 that will look good and still be fast. I would like to do many things with it. I just gotta find the time with my chaotic household and my 3 demons, I mean, children. Ha ha!

I know it is. I just want to know if you can install it on such devices.

[pondo]

Would this install to an android tablet or ipad or something? has anyone gotten it working on such devices?

[pondo]

Can you see how much disk cache he was using? Do you know? What about Page Fault Delta or I/O delta?

[pondo]

Good! I tried 12 long hours and it equaled one sleepless night over getting SuperFetch to work and I gave up. 👿

@ Halliday, Thanks much for the valuable Superfeatch insights. I may try that eboostr utility out!
