hey! i have a seagate hard drive that doesn't click all the time... only when it's at rest and i try to access a file on it! so basically when i click open a file on the drive when it's at rest, the waiting sign for my pointer comes up and nothing will happen for 2-5 seconds then finally...

Hey guys, I have a Seagate 1TB Barracuda 32mb Hard Drive (ST31000528AS) and ever since i got it, it's been making a lot of clicking noises. It's not constantly clicking, it clicks when the hard drive is at rest and i want to open or a particular application needs to access it. Basically, if i...

where will i see the difference in speed? what applications?

Thanks... btw... is DDR3 much faster than DDR2? =/

oh ya... i used to use that... well what's a good fps to have? i remember i used to run on avg 45fps on games like Grid... it seemed pretty smooth already... =/ i guess i'll reinstall fraps... and see how my performance is now =)

wow thanks for the help guys... and i think i exaggerated on the my lagging issues for COD MW2... =/ it's not that bad... it was only on one scene where a car was driving through a huge dust cloud created by an explosion... i think it's just that something was running at that particular moment...

really??? so you're saying my 4870 should run smoothly for COD MW2? =O well i don't like turning graphics down... especially once they're up already >.< no i mean like.. it's not lagging... but it's not as smooth as the first modern warfare... i see a difference if that makes more sense? =/ and...

Why $900? o_O when will i need to use up to that much speed? =/ $900... what does that include? New mobo~$150... i-series CPU~$220... DDR3 RAM~$125... and im guessing a vid card? =/ the vid card must be included in that $900 right? =.=""" and if so... then that's going to be like... 58X0 level...

you think it's a good idea? i've been thinking about it for a while... but where would i see the difference in speed? :/ cause... also... i usually don't overclock other than my vid card cause i just got it and it's still under warranty... so im not afraid to kill it... o_O haha but as for my...

oooh... i see i see!!! so not much difference! just slightly less OC ability, no crossfire and no virtualization support... which i don't even know what that last one means... =/ virtualization support? >.< but im guessing it's not worth replacing my P5QL for... THANKS AGAIN AFORD10!!!

btw... one more help! o_O sorry... i just realized that my P5QL is a P43 chipset... is there a big difference between the P43 and the P45? how about performance-wise? will i see a change in speed anywhere? whether games or just normal application loading? any? any? please let me know! THANKS!

Well Thanks to you both first of all... GREAT HELP!!! and good suggestions... but umm... first of all, cause i don't want to spend so much money on a new CPU... i-series are all around $200... and i don't plan on downgrading to dual-core... i like the sound of quad... haha Also, as for the...

I currently have the Asus P5QL Motherboard but I want to go Crossfire in a few months... I've been suggested, on another thread, to get the P5Q Pro Turbo, which isn't that bad of a price! But I have a few questions before I make any final decisions: 1. If a motherboard says SLI or Crossfire...

So... the 750i will not support Crossfire? I thought that was just a sort of branding... Please help! =/ I have a P5QL right now... but I would like to Crossfire in a few months... What's a good motherboard for its price! Thanks!

Hey guys! What's a good Motherboard for Q6600 (NO Overclock) and Crossfire 4870 (2 x XFX HD4870)??? Hopefully the most Performance for Cost one! Thanks!
