I'll be getting a new rig come dx10 but i need the space of a new HD now. I looked around the net but i couldn't get a good idea of how pricing and sizes were going to be in the next few months. Basically i'm asking if HDD will be the same in 3 months as they are now in terms of pricing and size?
I want to get a 400GB cause i loaded up both my 80's in two weeks and my current weak rig is seriously overdue for an Fdisk.
So can i get one now and expect GB/$ to stay the same? Or should i lay off for 3 months and wait for it to come down? If it comes down?
Please respect my noobishness, i couldn't find any solid forecasting on this subject.
(Also, would my restore discs from a 2004 (i think) emachines with XP on it put XP on my vagrant HD without me having to authenticate XP? If not i'll have to wait for Vista for a fresh install )
