Hm, maybe I should sell my old 80GB IDE.
or buy a usb adaptor and have a cheap 80Gb drive 
I’d rather sell it and use the money earned to get a new hd 
The amount earned + amount saved from not buying a usb adaptor should be enough to get reasonable sata drive.
Thank god. Although it doesn’t really matter to me now I don’t use a PC much.
But AC97 audio did suck.
AC97 is like the universal cheap-as-all-hell audio solution… don’t know why they’re dropping it.
Exactly, it’s the most supported audio chip in the maket, why would they can that? 95% of user don’t need any more that that so why not save some money and improve the pricepoints of their hardware… idiots.
