The 250 version looks good iron, thanks.

Internal. USB drives are prone to failure, regardless of which brand you get. I'd go with a seagate, personally, since they have 5 year warranties, and I've seen far too many maxtors and WD's fail.

My friend tried installing Ubuntu on his spare machine, but it kept locking up. GG Linux stability. Hopefully you'll have better luck.

I can't get XP nor Win2K on my 333MHz box, I get BSOD'd every time after install. Running Edgy-Eft on it fine though, Linux stability, eh, Jitspoe?
-
In my personal experience, Windows (after 2k/xp) has been more stable than Linux. I'm sure other people have had different experiences, though. What do you have in your 333MHz box, anyway?
-
Almost nothing (as in I took out the RJ-11 card, soundblaster, and the PCI-IDE raid stuff) its a stripped down Gateway 2000 (model #, not year). 333MHz CPU, 384MB RAM, the stock DVD-rom drive, nvidia RIVA TNT2, some legacy 3-com ethernet card, and I tried a bunch of different hard drives and none made a difference.
-
Is the memory bad, maybe? Try running memtest?
-
Nah, they work fine, tested the HDD's and the RAM (3 sticks of 128MB), all the same brand ram (stock) and they all work. I stripped stick #3 out of another Gateway 2k, I don't even know why whenever someone gives me a box, it's always a Gateway 2k...

I don't even know why whenever someone gives me a box, it's always a Gateway 2k...
I get BSOD'd every time
I think I have an idea...
-
LOL, no, I haven't gotten any with a corrupt install already on them, just highly ad-infested Win98 installs.

Ubuntu pwnz like that, heehee.
I have a Segate 160GB (it was the only thing in stock at the time I bought it, and it has been working fine, no complaints) and thought I'd have to install drivers for it in XP on my ASUS mobo, luckily I didn't. ASUS FTW! :P

Might want to look into using the spell checker tommorow, too. ;)

Claaaaaaassss!!!! CLAAAASSSSSS! Professor Jitler has spoken!!...
Now you know when posting to a PUBLIC forum, that making mistakes such as mis-spelling words like "tomorrow" are simply uncalled for and a special post will be created to inform you of your incompetence.
Just messin Jits but seriously, I could understand you making that post to some of these fools who TiPE LYK THIUS or some that make several spelling errors throughout their posts, but one word or one mistake???
It's a PUBLIC forum lighten up!
Are you an extremist? Haha

The Internet is serious business, as was indicated by my ;). ;) means I'm serious.
I was just giving IronFist a hard time because he's the one who helped implement the auto-spellcheck. Perhaps you're the one who needs to lighten up. ;) <=- shows I'm serious about this.
