New Hard Drive - 40 or 80gb

Keith1156 (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Thursday, 24th February 2005, 10:36

I am in the process of sorting out my PC and currently have (don`t laugh!) a 4gb one with W98SE loaded.

Is there anyone out there who can point me to a good but decent and reliable site that supply drives please?

I`m looking to load XP on to this drive and my CPU is an AMDK500. Yes I know it`s a tad slow but why do I need a sooper dooper cpu when I am only going to surf the net etc.

Look forward to hearing from you out there

Regards

Keith

Before you upgrade i`d check this site out http://www.hexff.com/w98_hd.php

W98 cant natively handle more than 64gb so you might have to follow the instructions on here to get the bastard to work.

Found that out the hard way........
