    Drive Designation

    I recently installed XP Pro on a new build (Raptor 150g) and it designated F. Is this a problem? Is there anyway to change it to C:? I am going to be installing Vista as a clean install later so I don't think it is too big a deal but I am curious why that would have happened and how to...

    First Time Builder

    I have the 150g raptor. So would I make two partitions of ~30 for each OS and install programs on the remaining section of the drive or should I leave enough space on each partition to install the programs? I am going to install about 10 games (Steam, BF2, BF 2142, Warhammer, Civ 4)...

    First Time Builder

    Ok...making two partitions seems reasonably easy. What size should I make each partition. I bought a raptor for the OSs and I know Vista takes up more space so would I devote more space to it? Also will I have to install my programs on both Vista and XP or will installing a program on one...

    Help with monitor selection. (Westy 37" vs. Dell 24".)

    Was debating the same myself for a few weeks here....just pulled the trigger on the Dell 2407. I went to a buddy's house with a 32 lcd tv he uses as a monitor and just didn't like how big it was (OK I love how big it is, didn't like sitting so far back to use it. Do like I am, buy it from...
