I have a Core I7 860 cpu paired with it's proprietary Dell motherboard in a system utilizing a Seagate 250 gb sata hard drive (from 2006? dell e521). I have installed windows 7 but it seems to be running slow. I am wondering if that hd may be corrupt (it was my fathers and has been reformatted many times)
 
Solution
If you don't want to put media and games on it, yes. A win install wiht productivity apps and everything. Though, prices beeing what they are, the 120s don't make much sense anymore. So i guess it depends on how much you're willing to spend, 240 beeing teh sweetspot these days.

If you don't want to put media and games on it, yes. A win install wiht productivity apps and everything. Though, prices beeing what they are, the 120s don't make much sense anymore. So i guess it depends on how much you're willing to spend, 240 beeing teh sweetspot these days.
