I'm not tech savvy at all. I have a Compaq desktop about 5-6 years old. I have a brand new hard drive that I might install, but want to know if it will make any difference in speed since my processor is remaining the same. I have upgraded my ram previously.
Here are my specs:
CPU 2.00 GHz Intel Celeron 760 mb RAM
current hard drive - 40 GB - 5400 rpm - 2 mb cache - IED/PATA
new hard drive - 300 GB - 7200 rpm - 8 mb cache - IED/PATA
I know I will have a ton more storage, but will I see any speed difference since the processor & RAM are staying the same? I do limited gaming, mostly watch videos & burn music. Basically just wondering if the new hard drive is worth putting in, or should I just save up & wait a year for a new pc. My current pc is great but just a bit slow with large games so I have all the audio/visual options set at bare bones minimum to keep the frame rates & latency acceptable.
