Hello all;

I’m looking to juice up my system and I was thinking it might be beneficial to get a small fast HDD to put my OS and most commonly used apps on and I was wondering if this is a good idea. Will I see any significant performance boosts?

The HDD I was thinking of getting is [http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=000003&cid=HD.96](http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=000003&cid=HD.96)

currently I’m running an AMD 4600 X2 cpu and a 7,200 western digital HDD

Any of your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
