Because its a maxtor check out everyone else who has a maxtor all over 100!
I should specify I mean sata 1 "real maxtors not seagates"

I didn't even know that Lanxxx, thx for the update lol. And you are correct, this one is SATA I, I have XP and Vista on the other Seagate SATA II.

Well, I'm selling my gear and already got a potential buyer bro. I'm fed up with OSX on AMD. Do you know if I will run into probs with the E8400 and 4GB RAM on a GA-P35-DS3P?

Thx

No problems as far as I know. The 4 gig problems thing seems to be to do with the kext for the sata controller so if you do get a problem with what you install just find an update for the kext. I think this only applies to ICH9 though I don't think theres any problems with ICH9R

K one more question cause I'm getting too much off topic here.

I mainly use Logic 8 and Lightroom/Photoshop CS3 but want to play a game now and then (rarely these days) will I profit more from a Q6600 or E8400?
Thing is, I want my system noise free too like it is now. Every fan is running at lowest speed or 7volts so the stock or 3rd party cooler for the Quad has to run very low too and I noticed the Quads can get quite hotter then the dual cores. Any input on this bud?
Also, is it easy to run the Quad at 3 Ghz?

Alright now back to benchies, have fun lads.

I can only tell you what I know in theory quad = 95w
e8400=65w

What games support more than dual core?

e8400 3ghz 6mb cache £120 unboxed £140 boxed

I know which I would go for personally.
