The only problem you have is that a few months after you have the same problems as you have now.For speeding up your hard disk the only solution is use a RAID configuration.But it costs a bit more.

peo 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2006 I have actually purchased several cooling systems just to tune up my pc. God if you just knew how fast it is you would wanna kill yourself. One thing thats hugely important when u tune up your pc is to clean it before you play with it. Dust might seem harmless - but if you dont remove it and let ur computer get heated it might end up with a fire. Also this is nothing for newbs. Only experianced users should take advantage of this - to be on the safe side so to say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
