my aunt has 2 emac's and they only have 40 gig hdd and there full so we went out and bought 2 500 gig hdd

to install them would i just have to unscrue the scews om the top and sides of the case then take out the old hdd put in the new one's

also could i use the reinstall disk's that came with the macs or do i have to use the mac os x install disk?

thanks

you mixed pc2700 and pc3200 y?

939's are sweet so are A's they oc like crazy

I like amd better but intl are much cheaper

i also liked ati more till i got my 7600gt

i have a wd400 if you want it

40 gig just format it was used for xbox

well all i have is this

but you see its not just burning or ripping its useing it

no i have tryed all diffrent programs magiciso ultraiso and nero and dvd decrypter i have dvd shrink but havent tryed that one

but i still get the slow down

OK when ever i use my DVD drive my computer goes almost to a stand still. I could be burning or installing something or riping Cd's

i thought it was Nero because after i installed it i started to get the slow downs( it think) and i uninstalled it and still the slowdowns

that is what a lot of people do.. get an old machine and run it 24/7 or as close as you can.. just make sure it is secure and kept up todate!

mea i cant update it to old, older them me or the dust is oh well

You just need to put ur modem away from Big electrical gadgets such as speakers, monitors, tvs, anything and it will not die.

SpeedStream 5100 is the best!

I had a Briteport by CreAtive and it went too slow so i bought a SpeedStream 5100 and runs like a beaut! I had  that same dying problem, but only that it happened to me every 15minutes.

i have had a 5100a for almost 3 years now and still kicking

your speeds look pretty good they may look a little slow because your in the uk and the server is here in the us try one of the mirrors closer to you http://www.testmy.net/mirrors.php
