HD Memory is only used for storing your programs, RAM on the other hand, is used for storing the memoryspace required by programs
Hence more RAM will improve performance a LOT. If you're system can handle it buy 133Mhz ram with cas2, not 133Mhz ram with cas3 this is muuch slower than cas2 type ram. Also, if you are bying a harddisk make sure it has a high RPM this will result in sweet responsiveness from your machine. Also, check out some of the sites like tomshardware.com or anandtech.com to know wich harddisk is good for you. The ibm 75GXP disks are notoriously good. I must add that i'm little afraid that you will find it hard to find a disk with just a 'few' gigabyte, if you buy it new you'll find 20GB the 'minimum'. cya, Joris -----Original Message----- From: Antonio A.

Because I`m thinking about to buy a computer with only 2 or 3 gigabytes of HD, for to have more money to buy RAM memory, 128 or 256 megas. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
