Are you trying improve gaming performance? Folding speed? System responsiveness?

Meadows wrote:Usually not very much, but my preferred working sample rate is 88.2 kHz (2× oversampling on finalised tracks), and I'd like to use it in real time. The reason is that I have a synth or two where sound is ever so slightly different in 48 kHz and 88.2 kHz. Right now, several of my projects underrun (sometimes constantly) when using 88.2 kHz in real time.
There's also the issue of rendering. I have a project or two that literally takes a full hour to render (with all the precision maxed out), even though multithreading is supported and enabled.
I doubt it. I'm against both antialiasing and vsync on principle, so judging by the reviews and the GPU's raw specs, it would probably let me crank the handle.

It has the same Piledriver cores and I don't need the integrated GPU.

That's not the only proper way. ImageX | DISM can do it perfectly without a fresh install.
Technically so can the Windows Backup.

JohnC wrote:Ahem... Anyways, there were plenty of recommendations about reliable backup/cloning software in other threads, one of the most reliable being Macrium Reflect. You should try it, they have free version, though free one doesn't support GPT disks.
