how to tell what to spend money on to speed up my PC running win7
hello,
I am looking for suggestions on a tool or where to look to try to speed up my win7 box.
Of course there are all those "optimize crapware" programs.
I use my server as a java development box and my java IDE in run/debug mode runs at about 1GB.
My PC has 4GB or ram, one SSD for work and raid 10 for the rest.
I was thinking of doubling my ram but do not want to just throw away money. When i look at the performance in taks manager my memory usage hovers around 65%. BTW i am running a pair of quad core processors.
Thanks for anyhelp on where to start looking.

I would add another 4GB of RAM and upgrade the video... about any NVIDIA GTX 460 or GTX 480 by clone makers EVGA, GIGABYTE or MSI should be suitable.

What indication do you have that there are performance issues? What's the CPU load look like?
