and if u use 2 hard drives get a 40 pin 80 cable IDE ribbon. that will make things a lot faster

can you throw some numbers in there that are acceptable. this HD will be primarly for games and applications, im going to keep my 40 gig for my odds and end personal use, mp3s, and windows... possibly linux also since i'll have the space
