I mean: why Raid1 instead of Raid0.

Because RAID0 doesn't protect against drive failure.

Why not a RAID 1+0?
Would your porn not fit?

[loftar]

Well, I use LVM to combine the RAID1 volumes rather than md-raid. Whether you want to call that RAID1+0 or not is a matter of definition. They do combine into one filesystem.

Raid.. Did you raid my village?

[*]7 TB RAID1 storage

How big is your porn collection

That makes it fairly obvious how large it is, doesn't it? ^^

Thats 2 of 3.5 or there is so big hds out there? Also: why raid1?

It's (3 + 3 + 1) * 2. It's RAID1 to make it redundant against a disk loss, obviously. That's what RAID1 is for.

Who needs 32GB ram on a personal computer?

More RAM is always good, if only for block-caching.

I do have to say that video makes me more impressed with Battlefield than with the CPU in question. It's pretty cool how it's able to load-balance between 7 threads while not letting any one of them be a bottleneck. I'm fairly jelly.

Love me some Battlefield. Hardline is even better......

I still don't see why you would ever want or need more than 4 cores, that's why I went for an Athlon rather than an old FX-series.

Don't you ever play 5 or 6 games at once?

Multitasking? Games? We just established that Battlefield 4 uses all 8 of my cores.....

I do, but the drive died, haven't bothered replacing it, and my XP disk got trashed at some point. It's an AMD 64, 1GB RAM, and a nVidia gForce 5200 256MB. I keep it around for the kids to play web games on. Seems to do just fine for that. XP only takes an hour or so to reload when they trip across some adware loaded game. if I can get it running again, I'll use it as a test for bottom end on H2.0
