Im getting ready to change out my AMD based system this weekend with a SB CPU and a new Motherboard and RAM.
Ive also picked up a 2 TB external to setup on my network to copy my media files over to before I do a clean install
of the OS wich Im guessing is the best route, right ?Checking my hardrives model # in windows shows it to be a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750GB SATA/300 7200RPM 750 GB drive. I could have sworn it was a Hitachi drive. Anyway my question is would I be better off getting a newer drive ie would I notice the difference in speed for apps and everyday use or on games with newer hardware/drive. Also im seeing alot of remarks about SSDs being used as the boot drive and for the main apps or games. Im considering the options and any input or suggestions regarding upgrading of or keeping my old drive would be appreciated. This drive is the slowest part of my system according to the cheesy windows
performance rating.
Thanks.
