I mean are there advantages/disadvantages performance wise with multiple logical drives?

Hi. Just got a new rig with 1Tb Samsung HD. Initially set it up with 2 partitions: 100gb for OS and base progs and 830gb for the rest (games,movies,pics etc). Question is if i should keep this 830gb partition or divide it into more? Please advise

Blain:--------- According to WD website there is no 1Tb capacity Caviar Blue HD. Biggest one is WD7500AAKS. http://www.westerndigital.com/...atalog.asp?language=en Think Caviar Blue 750G is more reliable than Samsung SpinPoint 1Tb?

So, Green Caviar EACS 1Tb is not on par with Black Caviar/Spinpoint? I mean, if no Black Caviar is available then it's better to go for Spinpoint and not for Green Caviar?

Hi I ordered Western Digital 1000GB (1TB) 3.5 32Mb Buffer SATA II WD1001FALS for my new rig but it turned out they are not available at retailer. They offered me instead Western Digital 1TB 3.5 16Mb Buffer SATA II WD10EACS. 32mb Hd's at the store available only from Samsung and Seagate...

Slowspyder: ------------- Well i am not living in US and don't have access to such a great place as newegg. Here in Israel ongoing prices for GTX 260 (or 4870 HD 1 gb) are around $350. There is indeed 17% tax but all retailers swear they make profit in the range of 2-5%. Math doesn't add up...

Drivenbyvoltage: yeah i am going for Evga gtx 260. Didnt expect to cause such a chaos with my question about GPu's :)

Jdkick: No, no special reason. Case has to fit gtx 260 (10'5 inch length), provide adequate cooling fir i7 rig and not be too noisy since it will sit on my desk near monitor. How about Coolermaster 690? (Coolermaster 534 is highly praised but seems it wont fit videa card)

Heh, still have 2 undecided parts in my rig: GPU and Case so i kept digging. Seems only significant difference between gtx 260 and 4870 is physical dimension. It's 10'5 inch vs 9'5 length . Strange nobody mentioned it. Implies gtx 260 is not an option for Centurion 534 (case hotly recommended...

Toyota: well what use of 6Gb Ram in 32bit OS? Not that many applications make use of 64 bit anyways and Vista has many issues. Right now i see no real reason to buy it. Maybe i will get 64-bit Windows 7 if it proves to be good.

Building new comp. i7 920, Gigabyte Ud3r, 3 gb ram, Corsair 650W psu, Evga Gtx 260 or maybe 4870 1 gb, 1 HD and 1 Dvd/Rw, Win XP pro, 24' lcd 1920x1200. Nothing fancy as you see. Comp case will sit on my table right next to monitor. I never overclock or mod and will have comp assembled at...

Hi Going to build a new comp. Prices of Gtx 260 and 4870 are approximately the same. To tell the truth over the years i became kinda suspicious of ATI due to drivers issues. Maybe it's not so anymore. Will have Samsung LCD 24' 1920x1200 ,i7920, gskill 1333 3gb tri channel ddr3,Corsair 650W...

Jmag your system just completely shuts down or simply reboots itself? I still didnt encounter self initiated shutdown on my system. Shaga: Acoording to this thread (kudos to Guitardaddy) only way to make 1:1 is to set Dimm to DDR400 in bios regardless of what type of ram you...

Hmm if its not memory then it leaves cpu , mobo and psu. In one week or so i will get cpu replaced by Winchester which i initially ordered but was wrongly handed Newcastle. So CPU issue should be cleared out soon. If it is PSU issue then it is indeed very strange because despite Antec 430...
