    How's this drive look?

    Hey guys, so i got a client that was having issues with his laptop. I did a fresh install of windows on it and ran HD Tune on it. Here's the results. Would you recommend i suggest that the owner has me put a new hard drive in it? Im about to go run DFT and i'll see what that gives me.

    Oh one more question though. This is the mobo im using for the old p4 system. I don't think it supports sata 2 so would a older 74gb raptor be my best bet? I know sata 1 is like 1.5gb/s or whatever it is and sata 2 is 3.0. Would this limit me from seeing the performance of a sata 2 drive and...

    Yeah i was sort of thinking that with the larger caches and newer technologies that the new 7200rpm drives could be just as fast if not faster. I have a wd blue caviar 320gb in my q6600 system right now that i would be better off throwing in my old p4 system, and getting the larger f3 1tb for my...

    which cpu is better for games ?

    As long as you oc the 6600 it would smoke the dual cores in games and apps that are written for using all four cores. Definitely take the 6600 if you have the choice.
