How strong is your PC

Quote from /V\ichael

Since when you have 6 times more upload to a server in your country, than to Frankfurt ?

The only thing that should be different is the ping

Thre romanian internet speed is the 3rd or 4th in world?

high internet speed =/= stable and high quality internet speed

The speed affects the ping, not the ammount of data !

you already have the AMD Athlon X4 965, what's wrong with that?
I would boost your RAM with another 4GB
and I would get a Radeon 6950 simply because you can easily overtact it to a 6970
decent PSU's are from brands such as Corsair... OCZ... or Seasonic (expensive but top notch PSUs)

This MB i want: Asus Crosshair V Formula/Thunderbolt, AMD 990FX, AM3+, DDR3, SATA 6Gb/s, RAID, PCIe 2.0 (x16), ATX,
and RAM´s: Corsair X79 Memory Dominator 16GB DDR3 1866 MHz CAS 9 XMP DHX Quad Channel Desktop
CMP16GX3M4X1866C9 - 16GB (4x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Dominator, PC3-14900 (1866), Non-ECC, CAS 9-10-9-27, DHX, XMP 1.3, 1.5V, X79, Z68 & P67

Approx 350Pounds=550.9US Dollars

It's starting to look like a mess

If you have 2 HDD of same sizes, when one breaks, you still have the other one to see what's wrong in the 2nd one. If you only have 1, maybe it's less chances to get it corrupted, but you won't have a recovery or something to look inside the corrupted HDD to find out what's wrong.

Corsair Dominator DDR3 FTW !

That´s why i want 2 HHD´s

Then you still need another HDD to copy the HDD images on. And it's pretty tough for those who have a collection of videos and games of about 1-5 TB... you can't make a backup of a video smaller than the video itself.

I prefer 2 HDDs for partitions and equipment safety rather than afraid of getting them corrupted. Different Operative Systems, each one ready for differeng bussiness and setups, and independence between the HDDs, also unhackable/virusable if done correctly. They can't break at once. I'm not sure how people destroy the HDDs... (in less than 1n year or 2) but the one I'm using daily on my older PC has 7 years and still works. This time included sudden shut downs, lights going out, etc.
HDDs make failures (and get corrupted), mostly cus of the PC which sends the wrong data when making an error(or when lights went off, etc), but while you don't hit the HDD/PC for not working as you want, it's always repairable If you let those errors stay arround as the PC works after you restart it, it will just be worse the next time it happens.

If you hear weak metalic cracks/clings from your PC, it means that the HDD is having problems with some errors you haven't noticed That sound means your HDD is stopping and moving constantly/periodically, as when you turn on and on the light in your room, spamming it on and off. The HDD will still work until it gives up...

lol two hdd's with an OS on each you could just partition the damn thing well the first hd and have the second one as a backup.;)
I always use partition on hd's and at the moment I have three partitions on my 500GB Samsung HD501LJ Sata hard drive with the following os's on seperate partitions.
Windows Xp 32 bit, Windows 7 32 bit and last but not least Kubuntu 11.10 64 bit as I have found Windows 7 doesn't allocate anymore then 3gb-3.25gb of ram on my machine even when using the 64 bit version and for a lot of people this is hardly ever the case but on my setup its just the way its behaving and yet in Xp if I use an 64bit version of Xp it allocates all of my 4gb of ram.
I suspect its a kernel issue in Windows 7 or I just haven't turned on something in my bios but Kubuntu 11.10 64 bit and most Linux 64 bit os's allocates all my 4GB of ram just fine.
I use Windows Xp because not all my Windows Xp programs work in Windows 7 and Kubuntu because I use Kdenlive, terminal for programming things etc as msdos/cmd in windows is crap for me.
And also for Flightgear as Windows hogs around 30fps in simulators and emulators no joke, I suspect its crappy management of the vram or just aero being a hog and also it hogs around 20% of your bandwidth and yes I know how to fix that but still network connections are slower in windows.
I only use Windows 7 for games mostly and benchmarking, overclocking and photoshop.:)

I use 1 HDD for BS only
Partitioned - XP multimedia edition and Win7 32bit installed
2nd HDD for installed programs only
3rd HDD for downloads only
4th HDD as mirror of the 2nd HDD constantly
and Linux system installed on a portable drive via USB-connection

I think you meant OS (don´t think german when writing english :P)

OK thanks for the reminder
for the record.

BS = Betriebssystem (German) ~ OS = Operating System (Englisch)

on the other hand. OS can most likely be BS as well e.g, Win 98ME
