    does formatting damage hdd?

    ^ Yeah...like 4 partitions is a lot. Dude, do 50000 partition deletions and creations. You'll see. Yep, they're called breather holes, in some cases. People who says that an HDD is air-tight and that if you open it up, it's dead...well, they're wrong. It's got air...but highly filtered air...

    nehalem or e8400?

    I'd wait, really. You got a nice build. However, if you really have an urge, get the E8400, and that board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157130

    does formatting damage hdd?

    Formatting, no, but partitioning a lot, will eventually end up having a screwed up drive.

    What's the OLDEST PC Componant you have?

    I still have a 1.6 Gig hard drive (Maxtor) and the price label. In October of 97, that guy retailed for $295...ouch!

    I'm Tired of wasting Money on Compressed Air

    I usually use the air compressor to just rule out the ESD damage a vaccum could produce. But thanks for the advice for the fans.

    I'm Tired of wasting Money on Compressed Air

    Even though it's funny in a way, we have two air compressor. I use the adaptors to blow all the stuff out...but that's when there is is dog furr. I am usually in a dust-minimal environement.

    What's the OLDEST PC Componant you have?

    Probably from 1991. I bet it doesn't have 512KB of VRAM on it. I use it for old PCs with an ISA slot for BIOS recovery. Laugh, but actually, it was for linking another GPU of that type. It's not going to happen with that one though :P

    AMD X2 6400+ Or Intel E8400

    I wasn't talking about competition either. It's just a bench tool from Tom's hardware. The 6400+ is smoke, for sure. Now, it's not 65, it's 45nm :p Also, there's rumors that the thing is pushed on 4GHz with it's stock cooler. While I have a nice 3rd part cooler, my RAM sucks. I want speed...

    Nehalem Cpu's

    Erm, no. 64-bit OSes addresses up to 16TB of RAM. It's just impossible to reach that high with the hardware architecture limitations. Out of these three, I'd grab the second one, pair that with DDRIII-2133. Enough said about speed.

    What is your typing speed???

    34 WPM Slow, but I don't really care.

    Hmm... I have an ISA GPU as well:

    AMD X2 6400+ Or Intel E8400

    I've done research and yes, that E8400 is faster than that 6400+. You get from little to a medium difference in speed.

    Help, which is best?

    Well, I'd recommend the EP45C-DS3R http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128351 It has all you need, the support for the 1600MHZ FSB CPUs (Only the QX9770 is having such bus ATM). Also, you have DDRII and DDRIII, so if you ever want to upgrade...

    best M.B for gaming

    Personally, it depends of the CPU/RAM/GPU mostly. If you can afford DDRIII, A P5K3 Deluxe would work.

    Mobo reads fan as 0RPM, but it's running

    They probably have the same speed because it's how it's made. It depends from each fan.

    1333 and 965p DS3 question

    What a revision does is just like updated stuff. Like for example, a BIOS flash, better sensors, maybe a new sound card.
