    A few questions about Windows7 on an..."older" system

    Awesome info thanks. I'll stick with a high gig green HD for now and if it looks like the OS may need a bump I'll look into some ram.

    Anyone located in/around the Columbia SC area?

    My HDD's recently died and I treid to have a buddy fiddle with them with no luck. He said that 1 of the drives was detected when plugged in but he can't format it or look at it. I believe the other drive is crapped out, but I don't have an external set up for these internal drives to mess with...

    A few questions about Windows7 on an..."older" system

    A few questions about Windows7 on an..."older" system

    WindowsXP, is what was loaded on there before the HD's died. Also no gaming will be done. Back in '06 I did built this system for some light gaming but have since resorted to my consoles for any games. Don't ask me why I built it using what I did if I wasn't a big gamer, cause I couldn't...

    Well I built my system around Xmas '06...ya dated I know. Since then I've been out of the hardware and HardForum circle for quite some time. Please bare with me. So it seems both my HDD's have died, neither are recognized in my PC nor in an external setup for data retrieval. This brings me...
