What are the recommended steps to take before getting rid of a computer by either giving it away or throwing it away? Is using Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN) enough?

:) If you're REALLY paranoid about data and don't know what than DBAN.

If you are a little more paranoid than most you could first encrypt the drive and then wipe it.
