Thanks...

I just installed a 500GB Pata Western digital with 16MB cache 7200RPM for 76.00 at best buy.. cheaper than the internet...

I noticed the difference right away!!! the old seagate was 5400 but slow... Even web pages come up faster...

I'm happy.... VERY Happy!!!!

this is a very capable computer..

BUT when I took it apart it was LOADED with dust, I don't know how it even cooled!!!!

Replaced the thermal past also on the piece that needs it...
