<locality of lots of related files> John, I don't know what that guy did with his partitions. It is a fact that he messed up his pre-configured computer, and it is ridiculous to claim the 400kB/s transfer rate for a modern ATA-100 hard drive, even at 5400 rpm. I just bought a 40GB ultra-quiet Quantum ATA-100 drive for my younger kid for X-mas, and it makes up to 25MB/s even if it is so-called sub-7200rpm drive (in fact it is 4400 rpm only!!!) BTW, have you ever experienced installation of NT4? With about only 3,500 files in a Fat16 directory, just about 75MB total? <I remember you once claimed that Rambus would only work properly under favourable weather conditions.> Has anything changed since then? :) :) Within the scope of our polemic it is still true :)
