While we're at it, how is Windows Vista? I'm going to be buying a new OS with my hard drive (fucking TIRED of dealing with installing SP2 on an ancient pirated disk) and I've been hearing that Vista isn't 100% terrible anymore.

I like Vista. I won't go out of my way to install it on older hardware, but I won't uninstall from current hardware.
Seagate has a 5 year warranty, which makes it a bit marginally more expensive than other manufactures at the same hard drive size. That warranty may be useful for gaming, due to all the disk thrashing you'll be doing.
I personally prefer Western Digital, because 3 year warranty is decent enough for me. I prefer having more space than a longer warranty.
Spinpoints are known for being pretty quiet, if you're into that.
Best Buy is currently selling a 1 TB Seagate for 190. Not a bad deal.

Still using IDE. Both drives are currently running fine with a new cable, though performance feels a little slower than I remember.

Are your drivers okay? My hard drive controller drivers got fucked once and I had to reinstall them.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
