-What is a benchmark?

-What is the easiest way to tell if somebody has one drive partitioned into two drives without taking the case off?

-Would I be correct in saying that a descreen tells the scanner what it is scanning so that it can help improve the image?

-I've never ever been able to get my head around file allocation tables beacuse no matter who explains it to me I never understand it. but its worth one more try....

sorry i made that phil one like 3 months ago and wanted to use it

in order:

- a standardized scoring system, scores are relative to the 'benchmark'

- you can't tell by taking the case off.. (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Comp. Management) is one way

- don't know what you're talking about

- never looked into it, but to be honest, who cares (all you need to know, in general, is: NTFS > FAT32 > FAT16)

cool a HQ version of the megabytez one!

That's just cold, Orbax. Not everyone is educated as some other more knowledgeable people.

File allocation tables... basically fat 32 is saying oK we are dividing the hard drive into X 32bit slots. if you save a 3 bit file, it will take up an entire 32bit slot. they dont go smaller than 32. 16 is 16 bits long


and then NTFS!!!! came out for 4 bits. so it saves a lot of space.

by the way somebody isnt necessarily stupid if they dont know all that advanced nerdy shit

yea, unless they're also context sensitive, and live inside a box

oh i see, so NTFS is sort of.... more sufficient
