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 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...
Man Sazar you need to benchmark that athlon64+ im curious how much better than mine it will be. Supposed to be a nice chip. I thought about getting it but the p4c's spoke to me. (that and i hear they run cool)
How do u like the chip so far?
AquaMark Score: 46640
AquaMark CPU Score: 10919

I could get a bit more by tweaking hardware/software but i prefer to use my machine to play games than benchmark. ;)

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...
Actually rebooting and shutting down the hard drives isnt such a bad thing. I shut my computer down thruought the day. I have a IBM 120GXP in my other computer and I've had it for a 1 1/2 years. No problems/noises. My friend leaves his pc on all the time and he wonders why is hard drive goes out...
Yes IBM hardrives do go out. I know this really doesnt have to deal with this forum But i think there maybe a few factors. About a year ago my friend bought a 80 gig (120gxp i believe) and i also bought one. Ive had no problems what so ever however ....he's gone thru 3.....in 1 year. The real...
I'm getting a new system and probably invest into a vid capture card soon so i can convert all my SNL (Saturday Night Live) Tapes to DVD for easy access :d
