Your computer will gradually run slower and slower with all the crap you put on it that you don't know. Each time you go to a site (unless you have the options changed to your liking) it'll put things like cookies and all this other stuff on it. Reformating is one of the many options to keep your computer running really fast since reformating deletes everything on your computer and you start out with nothing but the defaults. _________________ Motherfucking Triangles!

Thats what I do, put everything on secondary drives and or my file server.

all i need is a case & a big ass hard drive & i got one
(ive been planning this for a while, thats why im holding off on the reformat.... also, i do have my music, warez, haxxx & pr0n on another drive, but its just another partition of the only HD i have & i wanna change the partition sizes, so i need the fileserver to do it right, i dont feel like installing windows just for fun...
but i did an install over once for fun, just to see if it helped... its not too hard & will sometimes make broken proggies work again, not a real fix, but its a time buyer.... it cleaned out my registry really well)
(wow, longest () ever, go me) _________________

What would a big ass hard drive be to you Supa? How big?
(maybe I can help out in that situation, maybe send one your way - isn't it your birthday soon anyways? and then you'd have to tell me what type - I mean there's IDE, then there's EIDE, of course there are SCSI, but a big ass SCSI is gonna be big ass bucks so i proly wouldn't send one of them bastards, and of course there's SATA and the price on those babies has fallen way down, but then your motherboard has to support it, or get a controller, maybe i'd send a controller along too, and the cables, but if you're gonna slap some old parts together that might be overkill, of course you could replace your gaming drive with a new one (ghost it over to the new one of course) and put your existing drive in the backup PC, or if it's too small it may not be worth it, and then again this just may end up being the longest run on sentence that i;ve ever typed, with only a half a care to spelling and punctuation, so what do ya think, jus let me know) _________________

I could use a nice juicy IDE drive for my file server!!! It needs to be quiet too.
I could use it as my A+ cert present _________________ is now -=|CT|=- Frothy Mixture
