    Until you realize the impact it has on battery life. At least the upgrade from a 40GB 4200rpm drive to a 60Gb 7200rpm drive sucked the power from my system. I'd never go back, the performance boost is way too dramatic. I hope this means that you will be able to finish the next version of the site quicker. :P

        Personally I think happiness will be the day I can replace the nearly full 80GB 4200rpm drive in my laptop with a 500GB 10,000rpm one, but then I always was an idealist... ;P Anna :rose: Riverblade Ltd - Software Consultancy Services Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

                  Sadly I don't think I'm geek enough to upgrade my notebook HD:( I'm afraid I'd get one that isn't compatible. What model laptop do you have? ------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done.
