I have a few general questions. Hoping someone can help answer them as it would be most appreciated.
I have Corsair Force 3 120GB Solid State Drive I just recently installed in my Sabertooth X58 board. This is the only drive in my system.
I just installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and I have a few questions:
1) I am planning to install Microsoft Security Essentials as my Anti-Virus Program. My main concern is will this program cause any degradation to the drive and its speed?
2) I am also planning to install ZoneAlarm Free Firewall. Again as above my concern is that will this program cause issues for degradation to the drive and its speed as I know Zonealarm does write log files out. Should I simply use the Windows 7 Firewall or is there another suggestion to use?
3) Finally I am planning to use the following two tweak guides listed below and wish to know if there are some tweaks I should not do for this drive? The Disable PageFile for Virutal Memory was kinda of concerning for me as I don't know if I should diable this even though I have 12 GB's of RAM total in my system:
