Yeah I have installed the Nvidia Drivers originally the newest 64 Bit drivers, now I fianlly got fed up with the computer did a full wipe, re and re Vista 64 I have only installed the Nvida Grapgics drivers this time the ones that were shipped with the two cards, I have yet to installed the Nvida Raid Drivers as I just finished the graphics.. All in all now its working perfectly no windows updates as of this moment, Photoshop CS3 installed in about 15-20 min and loads up in less than 5-8 seconds. Renders a raw nef 90mb file in less than 20seconds. Sooo Now im terrified if I should install the Nvidia Raid controller from Microsoft, or if I should use the current version or the one I originally had at time of purchase.
But the computer is super fast as in Xp BUT Shutdown is Painfully slow 20 to 30 seconds vs XP 10 or 15. What is it doing that it takes so bloddy long. Should I tweak anything?? I have tonns of ram and hdd space and they are faily quick drive or is this just Vista 64???
Oddly though my "windows experience" rating is up to 5.2 vs 5.1...

installing the OS and before installing other software?[/quote]
