General / So What's up with everyone
« on: June 16, 2005, 11:34:18 PM »
I just quit one of my two jobs on Wednesday. But this week I am packing up all my stuff and next week I am moving into a new place with a friend of mine. I just finished exams a couple weeks ago. I've also been busy planning local lan parties, they are a blast but can soak up so much time.

Off Topic / LM Meet (Idea Phase)
« on: March 20, 2005, 01:02:54 AM »
Well if anyone is seriously interested, every couple months I host 100+ person LAN parties in Wisconsin, so we could knock out two birds with one stone. Its right in the middle of the Midwest US, and close to the Canadian border. We usually rent out a huge convention hall at a hotel, so we'd have plenty of place to roll out sleeping bags or a hotel very nearby. For our October 2004 event, we had people from all over Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and one guy flew out from Cali to meet his clan, so now GrayDuck has no excuse Let me know if this would be helpful to the cause.
Let me know if this would be helpful to the cause.

Off Topic / Help with HDD/OS stuffs.
« on: December 29, 2004, 09:32:33 PM »
There really isn't a reason why you shouldn't put the OS on a seperate partition. It keeps things organized, helps cut back on fragmentation, etc. My only quirk with it is when installing new games/programs, it still always defaults to the C partition, so you have to manually choose a new location rather than keep hitting next. Windows is bloated, but not too bad. I have a 5GB Windows partition, and it usually hovers around 3.5 GB. With a 120 GB drive, that really isn't too bad. Just use the OS partition strictly for that, and it will keep the size down. Put all your media/apps/games and even the temporary files/temporary internet files on a different partition. That will keep sizes down and keep your OS unfragmented.

I can't believe what I'm hearing BM. 
Of course put your OS/Apps on the new drive. The OS will be much more responsive and will startup/shutdown faster. You should use the 5400RPM for storage because it is slower. Storage is mainly there for just that, storage. What's the point of having a fast 10K RPM drive and let files sit on it doing nothing all day? What a waste of speed. Or even better yet, put as much on your fast drive as you can, and use the old drive for storage, but put your least accessed files on the older drive. That will optimize space and speed.
I would suggest creating a separate partition for your OS. This will separate it from the rest of your files, and help cut back on fragmentation of the OS.
What you can even do is split the swapfile between both drives. Put a certain amount on each drive. Yes you can do that.
It is a little more work setting everything up, but it will help in the end.

General / What Resolution Do You Play In?
« on: June 14, 2004, 10:11:15 PM »
1280x1024 - Native (and max) resolution on my LCD. Anything else (except 640x480) looks blurry.
That means I play at a higher resolution and in some games have to turn the eye candy down a bit, though not much with my 9800 pro. <3
