Upgrade HD on Dell E521 help
Hey guys,
I just have a quick question, I'm planning on upgrading the HD on my sons E521. Currently the E521 is running Win 7 on a 64x2 5600+ 2,8Ghz , 4gb RAM with a 148GB HD and a Geforce 8600GTX video Card.
And its mostly going to be use as introductory gaming computer for my younger son.
I was just wondering with the current specs, . . would the E521 run faster or more efficient with a 500GB or 1TB HD as its main HD. . .? or is there really no difference? I was planning on using a WD Blue 7200RPM and there is only a few bucks difference between the 1TB and 500GB.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Ray

Happy to have helped.
The only difference between the 7200 rpm 500GB and the 1TB HD's, is that the 1TB has more storage space.

Hey Bev, Thanks so much for the quick response!
I didn't think there would be any difference, but I just wanted to make sure. I figured since the 1TB is only 5 bucks difference it was the way to go, . .But I thought that maybe a bigger HD would take more memory or resources to keep it working and slow it down a bit compared to the 500GB. But, i just wanted to make sure. . .Anyway, sounds good! Thank you again!
