Micro, just because you own an ATI, an Intel, and a Seagate... does not mean they are the best. Benchmarking results prove that nVidia almost doubles ATI's performance in video cards, AMD completely wipes Intel off the scoreboard, and Seagate is out-down by Western Digital (you want to see the proof? Google it, you will find tons of benchmarking tests to prove this).
First off: The nVidia 7800GTX is the best card out there (it doubles ATI's X1800 in every test they've done.)
Second: All processing chips have something like a waiting line (process commands are stored in this line until they are ready to be processed). How it originally worked is that Intel made their lines a certain size, and AMD came out with processors that have the waiting lines cut in less than half of Intels, so Intel came out with the Dual and Quad processing motherboards (to hold 4 processors, for those of you who don't know). AMD then did the same thing (since their waiting lines are shorter, they still are faster than Intels). Now AMD has the first public 64-bit processor and with their short waiting lines, the Intel chips are completely out of the competition. So basically, they ****ing suck.
Third: That is your harddrive that crashed, maybe you had boughten a defective one, maybe you did something to it by accident when you installed it (most likely by yourself, did you ground yourself when you installed it? Probably not). Also if you look at the reviews for Western Digital and Seagate, you will find that Western Digital turns out to be more relianle, trusted, and of a higher quality than Seagate (and atleast Western Digitial is made in North America).
I already have explained in my previous post that the benchmarking results prove my statements, so before you reply and tell me what it is that "you" believe, please google some stuff first. Thanks for your time. :hsdance:
