Well, WD has an 80GB, 8MB cache version of their 120GB drive. Perhaps you'll fill that up in time. Plus, it'll probably long outlast it's warranty, so you won't have to upgrade for a while...

Ben, you didn't answer some questions from your original post: Are you using the 80 wire connectors and does your board support ATA100? If the answer to those two questions is no, then it won't matter what hard drive you get, they won't perform to their potential. | |

Dude,
My sytem supports all the lastest IDE hard drives ata133, but i heard ata133 dont have any positive results, so i am willing to go with ata100 if it will perform better
Thanks dude
