Windows 7 x64 Installation

Just done a fresh install on my new 64GB SSD, all windows updates and drivers only.

35.4/59.5? >_>

Doesn't seem right to me or is it? O_O

SSD is hella fast and quiet like!

Pagefile, hibernate file.

^ both linked to amount of memory (or a percentage of)

Yep, that sounds about right.

Ouch, looks like I will have to buy another C300 and lose TRIM then. =(

If you don't use hibernate, you can gain back how ever much RAM you have.

Just tried looking for it under Windows 7 but can't find it, I've turned off the setting under power options but I don't think thats given anything back.

Under XP I remember there being an option iirc.

I have 40.1Gb free on my C300 64Gb after Win 7 install and a few programmes.

PS reduce the system restore amount to 1% (lowest)

Thats given a gig back, still can't find hibernate option lol, googling now.

"powercfg -h off" in cmd, simple enough and 41.5gb free now, that should hopefully be enough for my MMO I hope! ;D
