Hello, I want to add a new hard drive to my Acer Aspire, and a graphics card, and I have a few questions.
I am considering going with this hard drive, Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives, and I am wondering if when I attach it, will there be any necessary soldering to get it to be powered by the power supply. Keep in mind that I am not replacing my current drive but adding another one.
The second question I have is, what would be a better graphics card in general,
Newegg.com - EVGA 01G-P3-N983-AR GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards or
Newegg.com - EVGA 512-P3-N871-AR GeForce 9800 GTX(G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards.
I want to know if the memory increase for 9800 GT is worth the loss in processor speed and stream processors from the 9800 GTX? Oh, and if you have any other suggestions for better video cards under $200, feel free to say them.
Thank You
