i got the WD because there 'enterprise' drives and have like 1.2 million work hours or something like that

and i wasnt going to raid them?!?!......was gonna take 1 500 and partion it up like 100 for os and crap than 400 for my movies and pics

the other was gonna be split 250 and 250 one for mxo and anyother games and one for pr0n?????



gimme a good reason to raid them instead and i will.

I can think of another raid...... it might be on your pron closet tho and I'd need to borrow the key

That is 1 big card!!   miss the old PCI cards that were paper thin

You should be, if anything, TOO qualified with those specs. I'm quite envious.

Well this is the "Technical" area, So I don't need to pm you the info. It's only available in some areas. My area just got it, Found out from my ex-step-dad that's a local installer.

Isn't cheap tho, lol. 16mb down, 2mb up. Pay around 90-100ish a month, that Includes basic cable and taxes and such.

P.S. I'm One of the 3 Xtreme Overclockers in Michigan, There is me, Vince (K|ngP|n) and Eric (RyderOCZ). There is a few more from XS, But they don't have any records, I currently hold 5th place on highest Overclock on a Q9450, I use to hold 3rd.

Well, I can tell you a few tips right now, I never heard of Enlight as a good company. Also, The Q9300 is limited by the Multiplier. It runs at 333x7, It's max multi is 7. So Even if you overclock it, It's not going very high. P.S. You need to be more specific on the memory.

*yawn..good morning..

lol......charter...they went down last night Int and tv till who knows(fell out)

I didnt know that about the q9300, and Enlight i've used before for my PS's..no issues in the last 5 yrs.

The game rarely lags for me with those specs >_> and i normally play with modified user opts <_< The game should run like a dream with your new specs O.O

*A lone tear falls down my cheek*

- 5500 graphics card
- 1GB old DDR RAM
- AMD 2.10GHZ CPU

I can play in high settings as long as there's no one in the area, and I don't move.  Your settings will destroy MxO.

Well, I'm normally running the game at 1920x1080 with 16xQ AA with custom settings, When I had a Decked out X400 useropts, I get 7 fps. lol.

But It looks good =D

Raid 0 them, You'll get better speeds, But they will also be hard to recover if one of them fails.
