    See how much memory is used when the games run too.

      i can only say Fallout 3 is a real bitch to configure. no matter how fast your machine is, that stutter issue can only be helped by extensive tweaking. (you should dig through the various wikis.....) this can help a lot but i never managed to get it to run completely smoothly.

        I started COD4 last night on my 32 bit XP Pro gaming box, just loaded the game, and let it load my last autosave from campaign mode.. Didn't do any playing, enough to force it to load more of the level in, but it hit about 700Megabytes for the game exe itself right after the game actually started in 3D mode.. GTA IV takes more like 1.2G after you've driven around the city a bit, and is always streaming content from the hard drive..

          **Need Help Unlocking BIOS and Hard Drive on Dell Precision 5820 Tower**
          by federalhouse
          Hi everyone,

          I'm in need of assistance with a Dell Precision 5820 Tower. The BIOS is locked with "Dell Security Manager," preventing access to the HDD-1 hard drive.


          **Background:**

          I recently purchased this Dell Precision 5820 Tower from a recycler who salvages equipment from abandoned office spaces. The computer was left behind by its previous owner and was password locked. Given that it can run Windows 11, I saw this as an opportunity to upgrade my setup.


          **What I've Tried So Far:**

          PC case - Hard drive rails
          by tmcw
          A friend gave me his old PC case (with MB, and PSU), but no hard drive rails, he said he only used the 2.5" SSD spot inside, and used an external hard drive for data. He said that he'd have a look for the supplied rails, but I doubt he'll find them.

          So I was wondering if case manufacturers used any type of standard 3.5" hard drive rail?

          I'm used to the various Dell hard drive caddies or rails (and HP and Lenovo to a lesser extent), or el cheapo cases where you screw through the frame to fix the drive.

          Now, the case is a CiT Gaming Case, and...

          bug of the month: write caching setting for the hard drive in device manager
          by ChaosLegionnaire
          i recently bought a new wd re4 2tb with 2014 datecodes. when i got around to testing it tho in victoria hd tester, the write speed was very slow at 14 mb/s with a 256 sector transfer size. when i increased the transfer size to 1024 sectors, the write speed increased slightly to 44 mb/s. read speeds and sector verify speeds were fine and at normal speeds.

          so i just ass-u-med the drive's poor performance was due to it being an advanced format drive and i was using it on winxp. when i tried cloning my system disk to this wd re4 2tb drive and writing to it in linux, the write speed...
