To complete all of the tests on the
system has taken some considerable time.
A render has been completed many times
over different periods of the system
uptime. Maintaining the fair play rules
we did not manipulate any of this
mainboards functionality and left it at
its default settings in which it was
supplied. All tests have been conducted
at 1024 X 768 @ 60Hz in 32 bit colour.

This review also sees its first outing
of the new version of
Diskeeper 2007 Server.
We have seen many types of disk
fragmenting utilities coming through
here and still we find that Diskeeper is
the ultimate product of our choice. For
some, maintaining servers can be a
daunting task - maintenance, including
regular defragmentation, must take place
regularly to keep them running at peak
levels. However, with constant uptime
required, scheduling such processes to
run at the right times can be tricky,
since while running they pose a
considerable drain on system resources.
What we have done is listed a few of the
key features of this remarkable new
product for you.
new!
InvisiTasking™
revolutionary breakthrough technology
intelligently enhances operating system
multitasking to ensure maximum server
performance and zero resource conflicts
for true real time defragmentation. With
InvisiTasking there is no longer any
need to schedule Diskeeper to run
outside normal production hours. It
places no drain on computing resources
whatsoever.
new!
REAL-TIME DEFRAGMENTATION
automatically handles fragmentation as
it occurs. With Diskeeper 2007 enabled
your servers run faster and more
reliably – period!
new!
I-FAAST™ 2.0
dramatically boosts file access times
through intelligent monitoring of
computing patterns. Learns which files
are needed most and greatly accelerates
access and create times for faster
overall performance. File access and
creation can be increased as much as
80%, with average increases of 10-20%.
new!
Supports user-selection of files for
I-FAAST processing.
new!
Improved Boot Optimization for peak
performance.
new!
Easy-to-use user interface provides
flexible and intuitive control, easy
configuration, as well as reports on
disk health, real time performance and
fragmentation statistics.
new!
AUTOMATIC ONLINE DIRECTORY CONSOLIDATION
boosts virus scans, back-ups and file
searches.
FRAG SHIELD™
dynamically reduces fragmentation of
critical system files, maintaining
system stability and reliability
ANALYSIS
REPORTS provide detailed
statistical information such as volume
sizes, cluster size, available free
space, total fragmentation, free space
fragmentation, paging/swap file size,
fragmented directories, total MFT
fragments, most fragmented files,
historical "trend" reports and much more
to keep you fully informed.
Native 64 bit
operating systems support.
BOOT-TIME MODE
safely performs Microsoft®-recommended
defragmentation of critical system files
including directory consolidation,
paging file, Master File Table (MFT),
metadata, and more.

The plethora of benchmarks available in
this arena; one could spend all day in
producing results if the time permitted,
paralysis by analysis! Sadly the clock
ticked hard and fast against us
therefore we did only have a very short
time in which to complete this basic but
factual review. If you cannot fully make
out the charts and visuals which we have
shown below, please e-mail –
administrator at 3d professor dot org
and we shall send over in priority of
receipt the picture you are looking for.
With these statements complete we move
onwards to a few but critical results.
