How did you measure "Performance Increase" ? Is it to your feeling or can you give some performance figures ? CoolGuy

Thanks for the replies. First, my boot time is 10-15 seconds faster, web pages load faster, applications load faster and even photographic effects execute faster when using ACDSee with my photos. Now I haven't used any benchmarking software, but I know my system well enough (by keeping it well-tuned and free from malware almost fanatically) that I 'know' when its performance increases in any manner. That's about all I can come up with. Loretta

Are Win 7 and Ubuntu on different partitions of the same hard disk or on different hard disks ? I ask just out of curiosity. I have no knowledge on Ubuntu. I even cannot create a dual boot setup of Win 7 and Ubuntu or any other Linux variant together. I am glad you love your system better now. CoolGuy

Thanks for the reply. I believe that they are on the same partition because when I installed Ubuntu, it asked if I wanted to run Win 7 and Ubuntu side-by-side. I said yes and continued on. Funny thing though, I cannot find any file or folder associated with Ubuntu anywhere on any of my drives. You guys here at 'Computing.Net- don't hold it against me for wanting to experiment a little. I am still a Win 7 diehard fan. Thanks to all who replied. Loretta
