If I plug a 16.5V power adapter into a laptop that requires 19.5V, what could potentially be damaged, if anything?

Hard Drive scores dropped???

your scores will always be highest with a fresh install of windows. you may have installed a program that you didnt install on your old drive that makes a big difference. either way, the older and more used the installation is, the slower it will get. thats why i try to reinstall win2k at...
