261671	2004-08-14 09:03:00	Well done elephant, its a pleasure to hear such things!	godfather (25)
261672	2004-08-14 09:10:00	Well done Elephant. We all can't have 3.2GHz processors and 240GB of hard disk :(. You don't need 3.2GHz to write a letter (games are another thing altogether).	Dolby Digital (160)
261673	2004-08-14 09:30:00	May I make a correction here. Elephant has a 2.2Ghz processor which is labelled as a 3200+ and his "120Ghz" hard drives perform worse than a single 20Gb hard drive running in PIO mode on the same IDE as a CdRom.	kiki (762)

So I guess you know this for a fact. You have of course been to my place and checked this? I must have been out that night. I have at least taken notice of your post and have in fact converted one 120 Gig drive and all partitions to NTFS. If I said "120 Ghz" drives in a post then I was wrong. There is not any such thing. I did this just because you told me to. I ran a benchmark before changing this drive and have not yet ran the benchmark after changing. I will get around to this when I have time. I never advise people to put an optical drive on the same IDE cable as a hard drive and don't say I did. It appears to me that certain people have a little trouble comprehending what I am saying. Now that you have told me to change to NTFS and I have therefore done exactly that will you go jump in a lake if I say so? Please note that I am checking this and still have one 120 Gig hard drive formatted as FAT32. After checking this I will either keep the NTFS file system or ghost back to FAT32. This is as I have often said a backup for the first hard drive. Both 120 Gigabyte hard drives are not always in this computer at the same time. Will go off now and post upload an image of control panel and repost so everyone can see you are making assumptions you have no possibility of proving. So being as I have two optical drives ( CDWriter and DVDWriter) on IDE2 which of these should be the master drive and why?	Elephant (599)
261675	2004-08-14 13:18:00	Cut from the other post above. "He tells me that he has twp 120 Ghz h/d and 3200ghz CPU" Is this where you got the Ghz on the hard drives? Nice to know I have twp of them. :-) It's sad that I have tried to help people here and then come across this sort of thing. I will have to go back to my Gin now. Looks like I will have to go get another keyboard soon as well.	Elephant (599)

261677	2004-08-14 13:34:00	:^O :^O You tend to over-analyse Elefanto, and I still miss your point. Was there one? Now that you've made a significant upgrade to your system, what are the PCMark04 scores? Screenshots of the score before and after (select the tests which are relevant to the hard drive, maybe a bit of memory benchmarking), with a clear view of disk management in the background, so we can see if the partitions are NTFS or Fat32. (No cheating).	kiki (762)

Sorry you missed it. > Now that you've made a significant upgrade to your > system, what are the PCMark04 scores? As I pointed out earlier I have not yet run a full test here yet.

(No cheating). Sorry you have problems with comprehension. Just a quick cut from Everest at the moment. __________________________________________________ ______ --------[ EVEREST Home Edition (c) 2003, 2004 Lavalys, Inc. ]----------------------------------------------------------- Version EVEREST v1.10.106 Homepage http://www.lavalys.com/ Report Type Report Wizard Computer CUSTOMPC (TONY) Generator Tony Frew Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 (WinXP Retail) Date 2004-08-15 Time 00:48 --------[ Summary ]----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer: Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Professional OS Service Pack Service Pack 2 Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180 DirectX 4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0) Computer Name CUSTOMPC (TONY) User Name Tony Frew Motherboard: CPU Type AMD Athlon XP-A, 2200 MHz (11 x 200) 3200+ Motherboard Name Soltek SL-75FRN2 / NV400-64 / NV400-L64 Motherboard Chipset nVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 System Memory 1024 MB (DDR SDRAM) BIOS Type Award (11/28/03) Communication Port Communications Port (COM1) Communication Port Communications Port (COM2) Communication Port Printer Port (LPT1) Display: Video Adapter WinFast A360 (128 MB) 3D Accelerator nVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 Monitor Philips 150B (15inch LCD MONITOR 150B4) [NoDB] (CX 093924) Multimedia: Audio Adapter Creative Audigy Player Sound Card Storage: IDE Controller NVIDIA NForce MCP2 IDE Controller SCSI/RAID Controller A347SCSI SCSI Controller Disk Drive ST3120023A (120 GB, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/100) Optical Drive ASUS CRW-5224A (52x/24x/52x CD-RW) Optical Drive ASUS DRW-0804P (DVD+RW:8x/4x, DVD-RW:8x/4x, DVD-ROM:12x, CD:24x/24x/40x DVD+RW/DVD-RW) Optical Drive AXV CD/DVD-ROM SCSI CdRom Device (Virtual DVD-ROM) Optical Drive AXV CD/DVD-ROM SCSI CdRom Device (Virtual DVD-ROM) Optical Drive AXV CD/DVD-ROM SCSI CdRom Device (Virtual DVD-ROM) Optical Drive AXV CD/DVD-ROM SCSI CdRom Device (Virtual DVD-ROM) SMART Hard Disks Status OK Partitions: C: (NTFS) 39997 MB (25463 MB free) D: (NTFS) 65530 MB (48183 MB free) E: (NTFS) 8942 MB (8893 MB free) Input: Keyboard Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard Mouse Microsoft PS/2 Port Mouse (IntelliPoint) Network: Network Adapter BUFFALO WLI-USB-L11G-WR Wireless LAN Adapter (10.0.0.32) Network Adapter MAC Bridge Miniport - Packet Scheduler Miniport (169.254.174.255) Peripherals: Printer Adobe PDF Printer hp deskjet 5550 series Printer Microsoft Office Document Image Writer USB1 Controller nVIDIA MCP2 - OHCI USB Controller USB1 Controller nVIDIA MCP2 - OHCI USB Controller USB2 Controller nVIDIA MCP2 - EHCI USB 2.0 Controller USB Device BUFFALO WLI-USB-L11G-WR Wireless LAN Adapter USB Device USB Printing Support ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noted that you did not tell me where to put my optical drives.

261679	2004-08-14 14:11:00	Judging by the amount of (useless?) information you gave us there, we can tell you have missed the point of the exercise completely. I'll even give you the link for the download: PC Mark 04 (www.futuremark.com)	kiki (762)
