I'd like to replace the hard drive in wifes computer to a bigger drive. It has in it now an 80 gb WD800BB-53CAA1 and I'd like to go to a 500gb or in that range. She wants to convert allot of vinyl to CD. It's using Windows XP SP3 with 1012 gb of ram. What would be a good drive to buy and do you have to worry about your motherboard when you upgrade like this? Will be doing the converting using an ION Profile LP. It's a Gateway E6000. Yes it is an IDE drive.
