here are some benchies on a cpu-intensive game: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu...cpu-hl2_5.html

as you can see, the sempron holds its own pretty nicely...

I just got a pair of 80GB Western Digital's from Best Buy for 25 a peice.

EDIT: They are sold out, but you can pick them up at the stores. They were fully stocked when I dropped by (at the location local to me, of course).

thanks, fedex tracking said my drive should be at my house in about 20 mins. so, thanks for the heads up, a bit late.

Sorry about the timing Aemon_.

how did you get them for 25 each?

[vee_ess]

With an MIR on each of them they came down to that price. ($84.99 - $60) After tax and the cost of sending them certified its like 34 a peice. (Sending certified gives you legal proof permissable in court to prove that the recipient received the MIR forms.)
