Yes? No?

The graphics card is a c216.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I barely use my current 160GB. 320 is gonna be more than enough.

Well you might be right, I just got rid of 200 Gb unnecessary material on my desktop.. I store stuff too much. /(820Gb tot)

Is that the 55nm 260?

No. There are none here, especially not for a price like that.

freezer has to order from that store so it kinda limits the possibilities...

What's wrong with that? It's 8 times more than my current HD.

Well, I'd say just because you CAN get better. 32mb Cache is a bit faster amirite?

Yeah 32MB cache is pretty easy to find these days if you think to look for it. I would think it would be worth it.

You don't notice an extra .1 GHz either unless you're looking for it, but the extra performance is there.

Cache is only good when writing raelly vast ammounts of small files to the HD. Which I won't be doing enough to warrant the extra 20€ a 32MB drive is.

Anyhow, ordered It's gonna be here some time next week.

wtf, here you can get a .5 TB drive with a 32MB cache for around $70.

Eh?

The next step up for 32MB is 750GB, which is 75€ ($100), which is an absolute overkill, as well as not in stock.

And 65€ isn't $70. It's $85.

The extra cache benefits in installing OS or copying MASSIVE number (hundreds of GBs) of pictures and I doubt many ppl do that often...

Yes really... They are so close to beeing on par, yet the 4870 costs less and runs slightly faster....

last time I read a review it was win for GTX 260 Core 216 in 5 games and win for 1GB HD 4870 in 4 games... I would call that draw... and price difference is really minimal in Finland and newegg for example.
