My Bios chip on the motherboard had become corrupted and unfortunately I needed to replace the chip. Yes, it has arrived!! It arrived this morning. I installed it and after a few small issues im back in business!

I now am also the proud owner of the fastest SATA Hard Drive on the planet! A Western Digital 300GB VelociRaptor.
And for all those that are sceptical on how a Hard disk effects performance then just wait till we are loading into BF2. Takes me a couple of seconds!
Very nice.

So all fixed and back in business!

Cool, So we will have a race then Angry i am usually the first to load so we will have to see if its worth me investing in one of these super HD's lol

Its strange, this HD is fantastic no doubt!
But for some reason some loads of BF2 take around 4 seconds from clicking join game in the server list to clicking "join" after varifying, but others can take for ever! I mean maybe a minute perhaps longer!

So I dont know what is going on there. However there is definatly a difference in all applications within windows. Its a great piece of kit.
