HD doesn't typically play too important a role (does run better as scsi though), but it is deffo worth just double checking your hd is ok, as I've seen some where its lost dma etc and lags out when writing to the drive.
Worthwhile doing an hdparm -tT /dev/hd(a or whatever drive) to get some rough tests, and hdparm /dev/hda to show what flags are enabled on the drive, if not sure just post the responses here and can double check they seem ok _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
