Default How to find out the specs of my hard drive?
Hi, I was wondering if there is any way to find out the rpm and cache of my current hard drive? Could there be any shareware that would provide these details? Thanks.

Great, it's 7200 rpm with a 8mb cache. Now backing off of that, I was wondering if it would be neccessary to upgrade to a hard drive with 16 or even 32 mb cache? I play a lot of PC games, so in that regard, would the extra buffer size help? Thanks again.

so.........yes it would make a big difference? I guess I might as well shell out another $80 if that's the case.
