im looking at getting a desktop comp soonish to replace the laptop. im not an uber l337 gamer so i dont want anything too fancy, just something thats gonna handle online games like runescape in HD.

was thinking something like this with the AMD AM2 Athlon x2 5200+. Thoughts and possible upgrades?

Please tell me you didn't put Runescape and HD in the same sentence.

*Consoles 'HD'* "It's ok... he knows not what he says"

Not the gaming console.. consoles as in , calms, soothes, sympathises. lol

The green drives are 5400RPM and you do get a slight performance hit from them. I use my PC and Mac for mainly audio recording so I kinda need all the performance I can get. I have black AAKS 640Gb drives in both my PC and Mac and they're pretty impressive performers

I wanna to get rid of my 74Gb Raptor which is my XP OS drive and get 2 x 300Gb raptors....... that'll f**kin' dominate in RAID 0.

Steve, I might be interested in your 74gb Raptor if it's in good nick and the price is low......PM if you are

I'll let you know when I actually get around to removing it. The WD 'AAKS' black drives are actually just as fast as the 36/74Gb raptors except they just don't seek so fast, but STR's are about on par if not faster than the older raptors

anyone know where I can get a couple of these drives in Adelaide tomorrow?

2x WD640Gb 32mg WD6401AALS (not WD6400AAKS which are 16mg)

I can get them interstate next Tues or Wed but would prefer them tomorrow.

I've checked with the usual, Westan, Todaytech & MSY already but no go in their price lists.

Getright have a listing for them on their website (whether in stock is another issue) but when you compare product details between the 16mb & 32mb cache on their site, it says the 16mb has a faster internal transfer rate.....huh??

Sled.. Check out the new 500gb platter drives.

Increased density = improved performance.

I've had the older WD640AAKS since it was released. Really nice quite fast drive.

Had a little scare almost lost over 500gb of data that cannot be replaced (family, pictures video etc etc), so I'm going to fast track that nas box running raid 1 & gigabit lan with a couple 500gb platter 1tb or 1.5tb drives.

Will make the jump to SSD the moment they sort the fragmentation issues out.

Dang that is one kick-ass setup there Tangles .... I am hanging to upgrade my Phenom system, but can't be stuffed doing a fresh reinstall of everything - I have my system set up just how I likes it. Ah well, the Phenom will hang in there for a while yet.♠
