Activated Ultimate 3 times

OK, decided since VB was down for a while, and I want to test.. another CLEAN INSTALL, with different HD..
prior to this I activated with IDE HD, then changed that HD to read as SATA, and reactivated, NP.. last nite I removed the old BOOT DRIVE, (IDE=SATA=30GB.) and Installed a new 80G SATA2, WB 7200 RPM.. and activated for the 3td time... activation was simply adding the KEY via Welcome Center...change Key..PS: the FULL sata2 7200 WD HD only added .2 to my score .. HD now reads 2.7 the modified ATA 7200 modified to SATA at 2.5...

What is the RPM of the old drive. Going from 7.2k SATA to 10k SATA made a difference of .5 = 5.9 - 5.4 for me.

Sorry thought I had posted the speed of both old and new:
PS: 600 Watt PS - Blue lite special
old -------------new
ATA 133--------SATA 2
7200 rpm -------7200 rpm
WD 30G---------WD 80G can not clean install on 30GB HD
rating----------- rating
2.5 -------------5.3
secret turned off AV and speed went to 5.3 much better
so actually unfair.. to compare...
worse setting is still the NVidia GForce 7300GS Video card.. 2.6
