FWIW, I ended up using GParted. I'm not sure why I didn't think of this tool to start with. Its free and allows you to resize and move just about any type of filesystem.

Not as "pretty" as the paid tools, but not as pricey either. Easy to use as well.

Too pricey for storage. I love my Raptors, but I can't justify that price for storing files.

I still like and use Acronis a lot...no more Ghost or PM for me (due to my personal boycott of Symantec products).

Its doesn't say anything about resizing partitions though? Or did I miss that?

....and feel free to move this post. I didn't mean to post in the hardware forum. operator error

Addict

Any recommendations? I've used PartitionMagic in the past, but I don't want to shell out $70 (esp since its a Symantec product). I doubt I'll have much use for this once I'm done.

I need to resize the system partition on a drive. It has 2 total partitions both of which are NTFS.

They've been good so far. My raptors are about 6 years old now. *knocks on wood*

So my 200GB Seagate went up in flames - literally - yesterday. Nothing like seeing a flame shoot out the side of your computer. :rotfl: Hopefully I'll be able to fix it and get some of the data off.

Not sure what you mean by that. The 680i boards are performing very well. I have one (BFG 680i) and its been a great board.

Wouldn't surprise me if the Pande Group got some 'donations'. Hell Sony needs to find some way to sell their PS3s!

Like I wanted my Xbox to get any hotter than it already does. These things are like mini ovens. You'd be required to have an Ntercooler or something similar to run F@H.

At least they can use the PS3 for something else.

I'll check that out.

I guess I really should be looking at the Opterons as well.

So I'm putting together a server to run VMWare. I'm trying to find some reliable benchmarks on the dual & quad core Xeons.

I'd like to go dual quad core processors on this, but obviously I need to be able to make a case for it. Same goes for 1333 vs 1066 FSB.

Any places to look? THG doesn't have ...

Slight improvement for me in 3dMark06. By about 20 points anyhow. Can't access the temperature portion of the panel though.

Hmm. That would seem like the spindle would be switching on & off a lot. Guess we'll see what happens next eh.

Why hybrid drives though? What would make that much different from adding a larger buffer to a hard drive?

Addict

At least you can get DX10 with them. That's about the only good thing I can think of.

PNY is usually a crippled card from the start. Meaning if you have any thoughts of OC'ing the card or are expecting more than average performance, look at another brand.... XFX & BFG are good cards.

Just manually run it for now. At some point they will fix the bugs that are there. Or go back to the other clients. Which I'd suggest anyhow so that I don't have to worry about you passing me up.

Well turning off HT did help. It's at least progressing now. I think I may go back to the regular FAH on that box though. The projects that teh SMP clients get seem to be tough. I read that they tend to be more cache intense (2610). Given there's only 512k on each processor.

We'll see how it looks ...

Addict

Another unit down (sometime late morning).

The SMP client doesn't seem to like my Dual Xeon box. With HT turned on, I barely made it to 6% in 12 hours. I'm going to give it a go without HT.

Nice! Indeed that was the case. I was a little worried I didn't get the credit for the unit. Good thing I left the SMP running.

Didn't seem to do much after this first unit completed. In fact I think I fell behind some on my stats.....

Never mind on this. I figured it out.

it should be running 4fahcore1a priocesses and using 100% of the CPU when nothing else is using it.

Shouldnt be slowing C&C3 down, unless its eating up memory that C&C3 wants.

Hmm. I guess I'll see what the payoff is.

I've noticed that it says it's running at a low priority, but it doesn't like to yield CPU much. I know C&C3 loaded noticably slower with it running. Then again, it is a beta.
