Are you guys talking about defragging? Or Optimizing. There is a difference. I *never* optimize my machines and rarely defrag them. There is definitely a potential for catastrophe when you pick up and rearrange all the data on a drive. And I bet that if you benchmark a drive and then optimize it with Norton...then benchmark it again it will be the same. I know it for a fact...since I have tried that test myself. -- ============================================================== Kyle H.
