If you don't defrg the computer before using a powertuner you are much more likely to fry the PCM. Also, on my studio computer it won't even play some lare multitrack wave files unless the computer is freshly defragged. It does make a difference

I was told by a real reliable source that defragmenting the hard-drive provides no performance boost what so ever.

Do yourself a favor and never listen to that source again. Ron is correct.

Im not saying I agree with him. Im sure there are reasons to defragment. But for performance he says the gains are un-noticeable.

Hey fish, what are you using up there in the corner to monitor your CPU/MEM usage? I like the look of that monitor better than a lot of the ones that I've tried. I'm assuming it's a Yahoo widget, but I don't remember ever seeing that one.
Oh, and if your ripping through a bunch of ISOs it doesn't take long at all to frag the crap outta your HD. I had mine looking like that at one point too. And yeah, it absolutely makes a performance diff, when it starts getting to that point. Especially with a smaller HD like that.

It was released on yahoo widgets not too long ago. I have 2 different ones but this one is smaller then the one I had before. The other one I have had bar graphs and looked alot cooler, but I like this one for being small and just giving me a number. I need to find one that monitors both cores instead of just one.
