By adding more RAM or at least eliminate the possiblity it is a lack of RAM. Does the machine have enough RAM for what's running on it? If not sure, open Task Manager, Performance tab. Look at the PF Usage (in green). Compare that number to the Physical Memory (K) - (top right box below the graph). If the PF Usage is higher, then you know it's short on RAM and will be causing excessive paging and more than likely will cause a disk bottleneck. In such case, purchase additional RAM, then re-run your test. -- Regards, Ace This posting is provided "AS-IS" with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.
