I found this SATA hard drive, it's only about two dollars difference. What are the advantages to running a SATA HD than running an IDE HD? There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I don't think I would go with that type of hard drive, whether it be SATA or IDE.
http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/12/...es_at_a_price/ It looks like 500 GB HDs are slooooooow. If you want that much capacity, it looks like it would be still better to go with two half-capacity but faster drives. The higher capacity Western Digital drives seem to perform better than the Seagates. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If you're buying from Newegg, I hope you have taken shipping into account for your order. Buying tons of parts like that from them tends to increase the shipping.

I was speaking idiomatically. |
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
For 50 more bucks your going to get about 200 more gig of space

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I've upgraded my CPU from 1.8GHz to a 2.2Ghz model. I also went ahead and upgraded my memory to a more reputable brand, and combined the two 512's into a 1GB stick.
Is there a significant difference in, for example, getting a 1GB RAM rather than getting two 512 RAM's? Which would be the better option? Jam it back in, in the dark. |
That RAM is only an upgrade if you are considering messing with the settings (generating more heat). If not, I'd stick with the Corsair. Corsair really is the best brand.
Two 512s is the way to go. Dual channel RAM/slots means that the RAM is going to work a bit better when you put two, identical, dual channel sticks in there. There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'll keep that in mind for when I upgrade, but for now, I think I'll stick with the single stick.
Alrighty guys, I'm gonna let this thread die down a little while I save up the money to actually buy this stuff. I work at Subway part-time, so it should only take me about another month to get enough dough together. Hang tight! This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Alright, so I got the parts a couple of weeks ago, and scrapped the video card for a 6600 nVidia something-something. After having an amazing failure with the motherboard, I boxed it all up to RMA it and ship it back. As I was about to actually drop it off at the post office, I decided to try ONE more time...lo and behold, it worked! I spent the next weekend importing my stuff from the old hard drive and setting my new computer up...it's awesome, and I have the support of awesome Gamingforcers to thank for it...thanks dudes.
