Hello Jeff, This is easy - shoot for any of the 2002 models (800MHz, 933MHz, or the best of them all, 1GHz DP). The 2002 models introduced native, on-the-board large drive support. Conversely, avoid the initial QS model, the 733Mz unit of 2001 - this was actually slower than the 733MHz Dig. Audio because it dropped the L3 cache on the CPU. HTH, Dana
