well ask the shop if they can put a "sata 3.0gb/s"hard drive. Now that 80 is ide isnt it? that is old and slower then the sata 3.0gb/s, also known as sata2 if you want to call it that. But I would definately look into something bigger. hard drives are so cheap, if you can buy the hard drive yourself and install it. Lets see newegg has sata2 drives with 250gigs of space a a 16mb cache (yours has 8) for ~$86 shipped.
 
Please, Sora, UT-44, and h0mer; get avatars. Its hard to tell your posts apart, lol.

UT-44; This isn't the late 1990s anymore. You don't burn computer parts easily nowadays. In overclocking, you would actually have to try and very hard to burn/destroy something during normal overclocking.

Keep in mind that by not overclocking (for no good reason, I might add), you're doing something that is akin to buying a processor that runs at 3.2Ghz or above, and choosing to slow it down to 2.13Ghz. A lot of wasted power there, no?
 
if they can run alot faster and be totaly stable why dont they come like that already?
 
Becuase for them to be stable at those frequencies you have to have excellent cooling, both in your case with fans and an aftermarket fan on the CPU. They are downclocked to where even a person with crappy cooling in case and the stock fan will not overheat as long as not OC'd.
 
Good Question. :) Its because it takes slightly better cooling and higher voltages than what Intel was willing to advertise.

Also, a lot of Core 2 Duos can run at those higher speeds. But Intel had to have a low-end branch, so they downclocked them.
 
thats why im not going to overclock im not getting loads of fans and stuff
just E6600
RADEON X1950XT
2gig ram
and rest of the stuff listed in topic
