Ok I'm extracting a 4.35GB archive using win 7 64 bit and its taking ages.

I have enable multithreading in winrar options

whats wrong?

Is my Raid 0 system drive at fault?

is using an SSD and reading and writing at the same time a problem?

Say I have a 4GB MKV video on my SSD drive and I want to convert it to a MPG on the same drive is this a problem when using an SSD?

I may get an SSD at the end of the month.

This RAID 0 as a system drive is bottlenecking my system I think.

I think the bootle neck is write performance on the Raid 0 system drive

I just unrar-ed the same file and on works PC C2D 6300 running stock and cpu was 25% and it actually did it faster than my 920 @ 4ghz!
