256731 2004-07-30 10:59:00 Can someone give me some methods to optimize a computer's hardware configuration (not overclocking) but just sort of "setting it up right" to allow it to work at its full potential for best performance?

Any comments appreciated, thanks!

HDD's on IDE0
Modem in the last pci slot
Put all the screws in all the drives, firmly
Keep the wires neat and away from the fans.

256735 2004-07-30 23:22:00 about the only hardware "optimization" you can really do is BIOS settings. theres a few good sites on it.

other than that getting the cards in the right slots so it shares the irq's just right can help.

also a good cooling setup helps. dosn't have to have the biggest baddest cpu cooler but just a well thought out effeicent set up.
