I must say the 6600GT has a great price/quality ratio.

Today I decided to buy a new S-ATA. 250 GB should enough for me. Any advices for good HDD's? I either thought about a Seagate ST3250824AS Barracuda or a Samsung SP2504C SpinPoint P120. What do you think?

No, get a Core 2 Duo (an E6600 or something) like KH said, the whole P4 series is crap wink.gif

Take the Samsung. I think it has the best price/quality rate. I have 2 of them and a 160GB Samsung.

I think 160Gb will be enough for me. My friend has an 80Gb and he's never filled it over 3/4 of the way. I have no troubles with my 40Gb now, got plenty of shit on here too. If I find that I'm grossly mistaken, I'll get an external hd. Do they work just like normal HD's but on the outside? (can install shit straight onto them?) smile.gif

They nearly working the same but they are a lot slower because of the slow connection like USB. eSata solve this problem, because it is as fast as normal Sata HDDs just extern wink.gif

Small programs should be no problem, music is also ok but nothing like games or video editing stuff.

Basically it's meant for datastorage/back-up purposes.

I won't upgrade my system until DirectX10 cards are standard, as well as DDR3 memory modules. I think these are the technologies I can wait for although I know that the moment I buy hardware it is outdated a few seconds later.

Dudes, I have a problem, yesterday I bought my new S-ATA HDD and I wanted to install Windows on it but it didn't work.

I divided it in 4 partitions all the same size but Windows set up kept telling me some XP compatible files where missing on the drive. I don't know how to fix it, anyone has an idea? I don't want to use my slow IDE's anymore.

Ye, thats the problem with hardware. As soon as you buy it, it is outdated. It's such an expensive hobby to keep your PC up-to-date. dry.gif

I'd still much prefer to be a PC Gamer than a console'er tongue.gif Got a Ps2, and all it's good for is some mindless fun laugh.gif I decided to start playing San Andreas on ps2 again, but euch... I hate gamepads tiredsmiley.gif That's why I'd rather spend money on an updated PC ^^
