XBTool Necessary ?

[jmj2500]

Is XBTool a necassary program ? I know that it does simple things like changing colors, but it also has that hdd partition thing. And if it is necessary, then how do I get the X2 4980 Bios to work with it ? It keeps saying "Unsupported Kernel" And I can change anything. Also, what is the best partition for a 120 gb 2mb cache seagate hdd ?

xbtool isnt necessary
u can just modifiy some stuff like the splash screen in the beginning's color as seen in the other liek 3 recent threads..
it can also modify fan speed
and also can change the green standrard light o others that are applicable..
and partition?
evox makes its own partition
