Do you really think getting a new pc would save me time with opening some apps like firefox and msn? when i start firefox it's pretty instant, i don't see any lag. Word takes a few sec to open but by no means slow.
The only thing new inside is 2 500gb hd's to store all the movies and music. If i get a new pc will they support my IDE hard drives? Arn't all new pc sata only? |
I think most motherboards still come with one IDE connector, which you could connect up to two IDE hard drives on...
But I've been in your position before... I generally have fairly long computer buying cycles. I used a 386 until around 1997, and then used a Pentium II until 2003 or so?
I was also fine with it, but a newer computer definitely feels faster.
