Trying to convert a Dell Dimension DM061 to light gaming for grandkids' friends. It's got an Intel 3.0 gb chip, Nvidia 9600GT card, 3 gb of DDR2 memory. HD is 160 GB, It's running XP right now but I'm considering putting in a 500 GB hard drive with Linux (cause I'm cheap and I know the kids can play Minecraft on it fine). What I don't know is if adding a bigger hard drive to this system will in any way speed up play on games. I also figure the 3 gigs of memory is enough, though I could be wrong. Any insights?
Thanks,
S Betts

Probably a old drive with slower RPMS, I suggest getting a 500gb HDD with 64mb cache, that would speed up the system. Since it's light gaming everything else is fine.
