[Off-topic] shimp208:
Stay away from Sandisk SSD's they are known for having high failure rates and alot of people have reported random glitches and firmware problems with their SSD's. So yes, I'd go with the Kingston HyperX 3K they offer great performance and value for the money.

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

Technically the Kingston HyperX 3K has higher max sequential reads at 555 MB/s compared to the Samsung 830's 520 MB/s, and higher max sequential writes at 510 MB/s compared to 400 MB/s. It also has higher 4KB random read and writes up to 85,000 IOPS and 73,000 IOPS respectively compared to 80,000 IOSP and 36,000 IOSP respectively. Don't get me wrong I love my Samsung 830 128 GB that I have in my desktop the performance is quite quick for the $80 I paid for it. Also I'd check out the new Samsung 840 Pro is offers sustained sequential read and write up to 540 MB/s and 520 MB/s respectively, as well as 4KB random reads and writes up to 100,000 IOPS and 90,000 IOPS respectively .

Format XP by booting from the XP CD

BIOS must be set to boot from CD before hard drive.

Formatting an XP System Disk by booting from the XP CD is accomplished by loading the Recovery Console by typing R at the first window.

After selecting the Windows installation you want to access and typing in the Admin password [leave blank if no password was created] you will see a command prompt.

Type Map & press ENTER

Note the letter designation of the drive you want to format. [write it down]

type format x:<space>/fs:fat32 then press ENTER, where x is the drive letter you want to format. Substitute NTFS or FAT if desired.

Type Y to confirm your selection and then type exit & press ENTER to restart computer.

To view other format commands, type format<space>/? & press ENTER at the RC command prompt.

Format XP by booting from XP CD using an aborted setup

Note: I find this method to format a NTFS partition more time consuming than the use of FDISK from MS-DOS, but if a boot disk is not available use this method.

Formatting an XP System Disk by booting from the XP CD and using the setup routine is initiated by selecting ENTER at the first window. Example follows in step #2

When you see the "Welcome To Setup" screen, you will see the options below

This portion of the Setup program prepares Microsoft

Windows XP to run on your computer:

To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER.

To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R

To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.

After selecting ENTER you will be prompted to accept the EULA and then be given the option to choose the location to install XP. Your choices will include deleting partitions. Choose to delete the XP partition and any other partition you want to remove and then press ENTER.

Choose F3 to end setup.

You will need to use a boot disk or boot from the OS you want to install to format the unallocated space.

Coming from an AMD lover haha i would suggest using the GTX 670 lot better than the 680 IMHO and its more stable with OC'ing as well. that card would be plenty fine for med settings in games.

And @ MaBlo thing is depends on your rig i have 2 systems that i have used one Intel/GeForce & AMD/AMD haha.

And the reason AMD plays games smoother is simply because running with an AMD core w/AMD GPU which greatly﻿ increases communications between the GPU and CPU resulting in much smoother gameplay.

Plus you should take a look at their newer stuff coming out the A10 that's in Laptops they did a review and it looks like its beating the intels and their hd graphics. AMD A10 has the CPU & GPU built into 1 chip i believe.

Anyways but for An Intel system id highly recommend the GTX 670,660 ti.
[Off-topic] MaBlo:
Yeah as it is now AMD have faster integrated gpus but Intel have faster cpus. Like Llano, the cpu itself isn't that fast, but the gpu is much faster than Intel HD graphics.

Myself I have no brand loyalty, I just buys whatever gives best value. Right now I think the 670 is the best price/performance card there is. Nvidia killed both AMD and their own 680 with it, considering value for money.
