HAHA. I uped my timings to 6-6-18- 1T and I was still gettin around 18400 somethin write time. So I was like "I dunno". So I start to download Vista SP2 thinkin maybe that had somethin to do with it. While it was downloading it I ran Everest again just for shhht and giggles. To my amaze my write time went up 1300 to 19700 somethin!!! Go figure.
