as the title states, im a bit confuzzled by the fact my i7 950 can take 7 mins to decompress 7gb. yet when i look at cpu usage its only using around 2% , just wondered if there was a setting in winrar to use more or if there was something in the bios, starting to think my i7 is dodgy now :( same goes for a lot of programs really. even boot times though i know thats mainly affected by the hard drive and a good old SSD would remedy that :P
 
oohh i see, it kinda makes perfect sense so basically im bottlenecked by the speed of my read and write speeds.

i use a western digital caviar black 6gb/sec as my boot drive atm until i can get an SSD, best to wait till the new gen ive heard.
