Its got to be bigger just for a bare xp install.
120 GB Adata SSD's with sata-III interfaces are $30 at newegg. They will even work on a usb2 adapter, but the 240GB for another tenner won't, they need a usb3 port, the ones with the blue insert where the usb2's are white. I'd got an older 60GB Kingston SSD in the dell running the G0704. Linux only, useing around 15GB of it, full wheezy/linuxcnc install, feels 10x faster than spinning rust. biggest disadvantage to the dell is it has only one sata-II port. Or I'd put a spinning rust on it for swap. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
