Sure it will help some. Go for a 7200rpm drive with an 8mb buffer, or better yet the 10k rpm Raptor drive w/8mb buffer. It's an SATA drive so you'd need an SATA controller card for it. It's about 37gb, but note for the larger IDE sizes you'll have to partition it on win98.
You can't use a 100mhz bus PII unless your mobo supports it. As far as memory....what OS are you using? -Clint Happy New Year to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Does anyone have an opinion on whether the following will speed up one of my older computers? It is a Pentium II, 333 MHz with a 66 MHz bus speed. Increasing the memory from 128 MB to 256 or 512 MB? Replacing the 5400 RPM hard drive with a 7200 RPM drive? Also, would there be any advantage to replacing the processor with a faster one since the bus speed is only 66 MHz?
