Nice! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> I remember being amazed at how much faster Windows booted up after upgrading from a 1.4GB 2.5" laptop drive to a Maxtor 20GB 7200rpm drive. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :evil --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /devil.gif ALT=":evil"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p>---------------------<br><a href="http://www.anandtech.com/mysystemrig.html?id=2249">My Rigs</a><br><a href="http://stats.distributed.net/rc5-64/psu ... 27482">RC5 Stats</a></p><i></i>

I ran a Maxtor 4.3G UDMA 33 for 2 years and only had it about half full when I just got a WD 30G 7200 ata100. Man is that thing fast, but I still only have about 2.5G of stuff on it. It seemed like I got a faster processor, the whole system speeded up. I ain't had NO trouble with mine, I think you'll like your's too.

how can y'all have so much space left? heck, I'm on my way to filling 30 gigs. I seem to need all of it too, I've been on many delete fests to no avail... I'm drooling over that new seagate 160gigger! And don't y'all want the library of congress on your machines? It's only 13 terrabytes. I need that plus whatever extra space I'd need to keep the entire web on my drive for offline access <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
