xperience now that brings back some memories. NTFS i had forgoton about completly it didnt seem to be that for too long.

This show has been great since the start. Every episode is a laugh. Can't wait!

Yes a LLF (low level format {0's written to each sector of the HD or the first 8 gigs}) is nice however not mandatory. A Full format from windows xp boot cd usually fixes most problems. You can do this by getting the software from the manufacture of your hard drive. If you do this you can...

I've always been a firm believer in that it matters in the order u install your os, updates, and drivers. This is the best guide I've found. http://www.abxzone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34558

i have the p4c800-e Deluxe and im quite impressed. Great on Overclocks and rock solid stable. Do you plan on overclocking?

What are your temps at? Stock AMD heatsink?

You should have about 150 - 155 gig drive with gig conversion lost. The hd companies advertise 1GB as 1,000,000,000 bytes. But it really isnt.

I prefer Hitachi(IBM) Drives. But really isnt a huge deal. All companies have bad drives every once in a while. I have tried WD, Maxtor, and Hitachi(IBM). The IBM's are always faster though so I love em (xcept for that certain drive that goes by RAPTOR :rolleyes: ) Only thing about Hitachi's is...

AquaMark Score: 46640 AquaMark CPU Score: 10919 AquaMark GFX Score: 5931 I could get a bit more by tweaking hardware/software but i prefer to use my machine to play games than benchmark. ;) http://arc.aquamark3.com/arc/arc_view.php?run=1618301432

I would suggest getting the GF 4 Ti4600. This is a great card (I had bought the wonderful Visiontek back when they were making Nvidia cards). It was a Ti4400 that would OC faster than the Ti4600. This was a great card. But I was able to sell my whole rdram setup and get a new system with a...

I'm not even sure but i remember reading somewhere that low-level formats (writing zero's to hard drive) is a healthy choice. And as for company's telling u to run a hard drive no more than a certain period....that would be hitatchi/IBM on the 120 - 180GXP's. What's really weird is the fact that...
