i chose LG drive cause it is the most compatible with all formats .
maxtor is a fast budget drive and has 16mb of cache , much faster.
set hard disk up into 3 partitions
20 gb is for windows only
2x 115gb partition , put the virtual memory on the d: drive , the machine works faster
also install games onto d drive .
infact if only windows is on c: partition you get less crashes (i have none)you also don’t have to defrag as often and defrags are quicker
any way have fun looking at list , this lot is on http://www.ebuyer.com
