[WriteLog] Solid State Drive ?

[Tim Gennett]

Are you using dual channel memory mode?  I assume your i5 processor
supports that.  I have never bothered to turn dual channel mode on in my
shack PC as I have doubted that the typical ham radio application would
benefit and my PC performances seem fine in single channel mode.  (If it's
not broken, don't fix it etc.)
