A few thoughts on partitioning

"P. S.: Small diversion here. I really dislike the notion of installing the OS to one partition and programs to another. I'm not saying that it doesn't work. It just doesn't make much sense to me. If you have to format the OS partition, chances are that your registry will go with it. You may...

is it bad to have one big 200gb partition?

Are you going to organise those files into folders? And if you are going to organise them into folders, why not partition the drive, since it's like having folders but has more advantages and flexibility. Defragmentation is a problem on the proposed drive, also recursive backups are not...

Will you give up your stock/overclocked P4 system if the Clawhammer is all that?

What a stupid question! Do you think I signed a marriage contract with the Pentium 4? Questa o quella..."

Is Waiting Worth It?

Rainsford, you could see quite an improvement by upgrading now. The latest Athlon line has never been so cheap before.

Will Thoroughbred overclock as well as Northwood?

It would be trash to try to predict the clockspeed potential of the Thoroughbred. The Thoroughbred will cost more until it has completely replaced the older XP, as it will be in shorter supply and only at the higher speed grades at first. If you knew what chips used to cost, you'd see the Athlon...

Dual Athlon PC Feasible?

In what way do you run W2K server? Is it the kind of role you can leave it alone with much of the time? How about two separate computers? Compared to a single CPU box, you would spend probably an extra $250 buying a dual board, powerful PSU, an extra case fan and large case. But the KT333 is...

4 Different AMD processors Use Socket-A, So What?s up with Intel?

Is there really the need for such cynicism aimed against simple facts? Stop trying to predict the future of AMD policies. They show a history of using form factors for longer than Intel and undercutting them in cost, and that is that. I do not believe that Intel will allow their 0.09 process...

Upgrade from tbird to athlon XP...Reinstall XP?

I've got a great idea. Rather than do a search, or talk from any personal knowledge, I'll just spout off or shoot in the dark. Even better, I'll make a statement like fact without trying to enlighten you with a link, because I've got nothing better to do than authoritatively talk shi-it. Every...

Which to Buy: 1.6A or 1.8A ?

Forget the 1.8A - there is unlikely to be any difference in the maximum overclocked speed of the chip. They are not rated like that. People have been running 1.6A to 2.6, on the same chip core Intel only released to 2.2 (the 2.4 uses modified layout). Intel does not run overclocking tests to the...

Intel VS AMD

I've looked at more benchmarks of the two processors than most. The Pentium 4 is all about bandwidth and Intel-specific optimization SSE2. On FPU work in particular it can do half the work per clock than AMD chips i.e. Sandra 2002 without SSE2. That isn't just a selective reading of an...

Should I buy a GF4 or Upgrade To a AthlonXP 2000+?

Why would you waste several hundred dollars on fairly meaningless upgrades when you "won't be getting any more money anytime soon". I would not do that. I don't see you be getting the girl like that either.

AMD XP 2800 with Thoroughbred core!!

I don't see the Athlon as a very exciting chip anymore. The signs are that AMD do not wish to increase the cache or front-side bus on the desktop Athlon chips, or use SOI, and are placing the new chip on their traditional value footing until their 64 bit line arrives. How much speed and...

Hercles 3D Prophet 4800 KYROII SE

The wording of the press release suggests no new feature but that they'd like some people to misconstrue that there is. Are you sure VIA is such a great buyer- they didn't do much for the Diamond S3 line.

Posting irrelevant contentious titles to get attention.

I do not like to see posting contentious or even offensive thread titles in order to grab attention to very mundane technical issues that have nothing to do with the topic. Asus sucks? I know exactly what the problem he's having is and how to solve it, but will not help him because he's abusing...
