Hello all. You may have noticed my overclocking thread.

Here are few pics below to remind you. I was fairly disappointed and when booting today I noticed it said on one of the bios screens

320gb IDE 133 HDD.


WTH! My Hard drive is a SATAII Seagate Barracuda 7200.10. Will this be making any changes to my speed, how can I check???

Also how would I correct this problem?


Thanks a lot people.
 
the question is will it be slowing me down... ;)

thanks for info will have a look now.

Here is my current 3DMark06 score

Disappointing. Will the hdd rates be slowing it?

P.s how can I tell the speeds? Are there any benchmarks?
 
P.s Brought me new ram today


4GB OCZ Dual Channel PC2-6400 Gold Edition XTC

2X2Gb CL 5-5-5-18 Gold Vista Edition Memory with Gold XTC Heatspreader

Crap Latencys but the 4gb makes up for it.

Have yet to pay the Guy am I am still thinking (Brought of a site for £250. Would have brought of OC but they were charging £281 exc postage which for me would be £22.


I am still tempted to get 4gb (4x1gb) Geil 800mhz 4-4-4-12 for £180 but am not sure if it will limit me in the long run.


P.ps Also my finger is hovering over the Quad Core Q6600 for £340 delivered. Should I do it? :confused: Lol
 
Hello.

Burst speed was 218.1mb/s

read speed 62.8mb/s

Random access 13.9ms

Cpu utlisation 4%

However this was done with 6xwindows explorers open, Steam, Limewire, Creative audio console, 3d online poker and loads o logitch stuff

You may be taking a cost hit now, but you'll be glad you did in 12 months time. 2 2Gb sticks is the way to go. With the way RAM prices are crumbling you'll be able to buy another 2 sticks for £100 soon.

Should I get the 2x2gb For £250 or 4x1gb Geil pc6400 for £160?
