I got it, I thought it was quite funny. 8/10 😀:beer:

I didn't 🙁

I hope you're being sarcastic, but if you aren't I'll break it down and take the funny out of it...

Killing someone in most FPS games is known as fragging (getting a frag), so when he said to record yourself in UT2004 and then play it back in reverse it's going to show the death in reverse, bringing the person to life from pieces (IE: de-fragging someone). Hope that helps even though I'm sure it's not funny after that.

And XZeroII, that was a good one... made me smile!

Ahh makes sense. I understand the term fragging in that sense, just wasn't able to make the connection.

LOL. Pretty good.
 
i would vote for voptXP ( www.vopt.com )

I read about it somewhere (probably here, in some posts from long ago), tried it out, and it seems to work surprisingly well. (at least compared to windows' or sym speed disk).
 
I have been going legit with my new computer after several years of using warez. I am not rich though 🙁 Which one of these deframenters is least expensive? I used to use diskeeper and liked it but.... I need to buy a new one now.

Are these significantly better than the one that comes with XP (which executive software, the makers of disk keeper, developed?)

Thanks!

How about the free diskeeper lite?

It's what I use on all my boxes...
 
O&O seems like a "tweaker's" software. It's fully configurable. It's given me the best results of any program, but it took a fair bit of work to get it right. Oh, and it's SLOW compared to the others, not to mention invasive.

Perfectdisk is nice in that it requires very little user input, and does a decent job.

Are these options really any better than the built in wondows version? Do they run substantially faster, remove more fragments, run in TSR mode to keep it frag free all the time... whats so special that is worth $50?

I would like to know that too. What makes them any better. It seems O & O is good but what makes it better then the built in windows one? Does it provide better overall performance or is the choice just based on personal preference?

GUARANTEED to also clean up your frel'ed up MS registry

That couldn't be further from the truth, junior.
