I was thinking to put the OS on that or just partition the 250gb hard drive. Oppinions would be appreciated. Thanks once again! BTW I would give most of you rep, but I need 150 posts....
if you have the money, go for it. there aren't many 40gb hard drives, though there are like 80 gb for $40. it would save more money to buy one 250GB for around $60-$70 and partition, though.
Alright thank you very much. I think this is the setup I will have. I will talk to my bro about it first though, just to see what he has to say.
