I'll stop now. happy:

Holy fuck!...LOL!

[quote="Mr_Gl@ss":4f980]If it was me and I was buying right now, I'd go with AMD. I know Gerv will tell us that Core 2 Duo kicks AMD's booty which is true however till the price gouging (180.00 processor cost 260.00) dies down I'd look at AMD. More than likely you'll see an improvement over what you have either way you go (AMD or Intel). So whit that said:

SLI Capable
Processor: AMD X2 3800 (skt AM2)
Motherboard Nvidia: Asus M2N-SLI Delux (Nvidia 570 SLI chipset)
Video Card: Nvidia 7600 GT
DDR2 800 RAM (Corsair, Mushkin, Patriot, G-Skill, OCZ)

Crossfire Capable
Processor: AMD X2 3800 (skt 939)
Motherboard ATI: Asus A8R32-MVP Delux (ATI XPRESS 3200 chipset)
Video Card: ATI x1800GTO
DDR 500 RAM (Corsair, Mushkin, Patriot, G-Skill, OCZ)

Both of these will need a newer power supply. If you're going cheap then look at the FSP supplies([url:4f980]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104954[/url:4f980]). If you can spend some cash then look at the PC Power and Cooling supplies ([url:4f980]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=ENE&N=2010320058+50009830&S ubcategory=58&description=&srchInDesc=&minPrice=&m axPrice=[/url:4f980]). The Silverstone SST-ST56ZF ([url:4f980]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817163111[/url:4f980]) is great at the moderate price range[/quote:4f980]
thanks for the info man greatly appreciated beer:

My build is complete - just waiting for the CPU which is expected Thursday or Friday. biggrin:

LMFAO

Thats 100x better then bigdickmilla.jpg.

I used to have a prog on a disc I got with my HD which basicly writes 0's to the hd. It was Western Digital drive so their site maybe?

Other than that I doubt you can be as clean as possible but would suggest
doing a full format then going in and deleting the partions. it all depends on the work you want to put in.
