Uprade hard drive or NO?

[ExGamer]

Ok my system is... 3.03 ghz P4 H/T 2 GIGS of RAM....,6600GT and 5400 RPM hard drives i was talkin to sum 1 and they said.... your computers hot to bad your being held back by your hard drive speed ....im like hmmm so my question is would i notice a increase in performance with...a 7200 RPM hard drive?

 

[jac006]

Yes, totally. Wow... I'm suprised with that system that you do too! 5400 is for labtops. If you can, get a 10,000 rpm but yeah, 7200 is normal for a desktop.

I have a 5400 rpm HDD for my PS2. You REALLY need to upgrade. I feel like a teacher, or someone, but your system has great potential

 

[yellowsnowman]

yes i advise upgrading also, SATA is also a nice thing to think about...

(Nice 2 gig of RAM!)

I found this for you. I always go with Seagate.

80gb, 8mb cache.

If you want a little better, there are some nice 120gb HDD's a little farther down the page, priced around $70-$80.

I always shop from Newegg, I have ties with them. I've compared prices, Newegg is ALWAYS lower. So are you still thinking about upgrading or?
