right now I'm at like 80gb used. so really 500 or 1000 is meaningless to me.

I'm doing it more because this thing is over 5 years old. I want to change it before it dies. it's also seemed really slow the last few weeks. the current one is IDE but I have sata on the MB. probalby only sata I though.

really I should just buy a new PC but I hate redoing them when I have a bunch of stuff installed already. I'm also just a cheap ass and generally don't spend money.
