hmmm, buying new hard drives is not an alternative for me right now. im kinda tight on money and hopefully i will look into that ide controller card (hopefully it wont take too much of my resource and not that expensive either) i have 192 mb ram so i think that would be sufficient. thanks for the advice!

if not, i guess its time so set aside the old maxtor hard disk (it only has 6.4 gigs). i still have a 20gig and a 30 gig for a drive space, but you are right, im frugal with money and like to use old parts (heck that 6.4 gigs hard disk was pretty expensive years ago [img]smile.gif[/img] )

Ummm, unfortunately it's not as simple as memory. When I say resources, I mean things like IRQ, DMA, etc. These are all equally finite numbers no matter how much memory or what type of computer. It sucks when you find out you don't have a free channel to run your device! For only six gigs, I'd ditch the HDD.
