I think most games can be put on any drive.

I play UT99 as a sniper if anyone is interested and BattleField 2142?

I play UT99 and 2K4 as sniper, although most all good 99 servers are gone. not a problem though, i can easily flip a switch on my server and have UT99 running again with all the great custom maps we know and love ({SUF} NYA etc etc)
and im sure my clan buddies ({SUF}) would enjoy some quality UT99.

ok, well when the new board comes tomorrow.... (Arrival scan at Livonia right now) and the paint dries on a CM690 i'll be sure to install OS on 1 drive and Games on another and try it out..

Sounds good, send me the Teamspeak ip and I'll hook up for some frags.
I play monster hunt on 2K4 on the WOH server but we are adding 2K4 to ours as well, but send me the ip for the server when you get that going.

Oh yeah, we are going to OC the hell out of you CPU

so gb have said i should rma the board as they cant see any reason that i should have the kind of performace i am getting.

so i will be sending it to them asap and if it comes back fine and i still have the issue it will be in the fs threads or on fleabay seeing as its cheaper to get a new board then getting other ram atm.

Well lets hope the problem gets fixed. Hopefully it won't take three weeks.

And in games, it is working very well for holding good fps and load times!
And feels every bit as good as my Raid 0 did!

Our theory being, "The game drive" will be just playing the game (as much as pos), whilst the "OS drive" does the rest!



Then we're all good in the "Happy Thread"
Yep, this is exactly correct. This is what i am trying to do with my hdd's. One for windows and the other for games. I have reformatted under achi and it worked. I installed drivers off the motherboard disc. My system rebooted and it said both my hdd's are currently being installed. I then rebooted after that had finished. What access time should i see with the WD320 Cavior? (HD Tune)

tbh i dont care if it does take 3 weeks if i get a mobo that works my mem with decent performance.

i really would like to have this board working 100% as the only other option in truth would be a p5q of some flavour.

I ran HD Tune. The 320GB WD scores 12.7 on access speed/rate. Is that a little too high?
