<<         Hello, well it's time to give my good old 2.1GB a rest and to go
shopping
 for a new hard drive. Any advice on brands, models, things of that sort. I
 will be installing it in a system with an ASUS VX motherboard, Win95B. I'm
 planning on going no higher than 13.6GB for price reasons. I have heard of
 some problems with UDMA/66 drives on systems without UDMA/66, has anybody
 heard of this problem and what brands tend to suffer from it most? I was
 heart set on getting one of the IBM 7200RPM 2MB cache drives but they are
 sold out almost everywhere and the few places that do have them want way too
 much. I am aiming for the same specs in either the WD or Maxtor drives.
 Thanks for your time, and advice. TTYL >>

Hi,
  One of the best sites I have found for hard drive information is:
http://www.storagereview.com
  A good place to search for low prices on hardware is:
http://www.pricewatch.com
however, be aware that many of the places with the lowest prices do not have
the best business practices, or customer relations, you can check out any
potential retailers at:

HTH,
