puntoMX Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Instead of a 500gb hard drive ive decided that i only need a 250 or a 320 because i cant even fill up my 80gig .Just to save 30CAD? o.ORemember that those smaller drivers are slower so I would keep it as it is, with that 640GB drive .

CoffeeFiend Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Just to save 30CAD? o.ORemember that those smaller drivers are slower so I would keep it as it is, with that 640GB drive .Exactly. The hard drive is by far the slowest component of a computer nowadays. I mean, RAM latency is in a few nanoseconds which is already a long wait for a CPU, and hard drives in milliseconds, so roughly a million times slower. So I wouldn't willingly go for something slow-ish.And hard drives these days fill up very quickly. From software coming on DVDs now, some mpeg4 videos, TV shows if you use your computer as a PVR (with mce, mythtv or such), DV footage, large digital photos (and I'm not talking about pr0n here), some music (especially if lossless), vmware and ghost/trueimage images, different partitions if you dual boot (or more), ISO's you're working on and what not... I could easily go thru a 640GB in a week if I didn't limit myself. Storage has always been the first thing I run out of, on any computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Get the WD6400AAKS. You definitely won't be disappointed, or worrying that you've wasted your money.I'd start off with the stock cooler to begin with. Put the system together, and then see how it handles your day-to-day gaming. If you feel that you're still not getting the performance you should, then go ahead and try to overclock the system.

Tripredacus Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 My PC scored a whopping 140 (or 134 or something like that) Marks in 3dmark06 and I got Crysis to run. So if you got a PC that can score better than that, yer all set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 A 8400GS works for Crysis too on "low" settings on 1024*768.You will need 1GB of RAM and a Celeron 420 too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
