Don't suppose you can show your hard disk benchmark, I'm just curious.

That is a very low score you got there.

really?! do you think so, megaargon?lol:))

:) yes I think so, LOL. Not trying to bring you down in any way. =) What are your specs? Just wondering.

i'll show you tomorrow because i'm at work now... but HDs are the chains to the feets of my system..
do you think it's a good benchmark?

Yes pretty good, I think hard drives are most peoples low points, anyone with a maxtor seems to have an advantage in that area

heres my latest

for the leopard,is it Guid better for mbr?

With guid you´ll have better system and disk performance and other possibilities like making partitions without losing data.
