well, did the deed. did the deed good.
took my old dell optiplex gx110, thats a 128 meg 128mb p3 with intel 810e onboard graphics.
thing wasn't really worth spending a bunch of loot on, so i popped over to the local costco, snagged me a 7200rpm maxtor 250gig drive with included ata133/sata150 pci card, and presto. besides now having ornery amounts of space on the sucker, congratulations, you just became my networks fileserver..., i gained about 20 to 30 percent of felt performance. thing is just crisper. faster swapping etc. at least compared o the old quantum fireball 6 gig it had.
just wanted to share a simple single item upgrade at low cost with good results. comments welcome. flames to devnull.
