to true tris always good for a laugh to go in a PC store and watch them trying to take advantage out of people or not know what there talking about. next time you go in a pc shop ask about hardrives usually they dont have a clue what ata modes are, how the speed of the hardrive in RPM effects the perfromance of the drive and i doubt they even know what the cache of a hardrive is they would propably tell u something about the swapfile in windows you noticed how most shops sell small hardrives for stupid prices aswell. bet they would have sold your a pentium with the standard heatsink/fan aswell not knowing that when p4's get to a certain temprature they start to throttle the cpus perfromance to stop overheating.
