I agree. But have you ever actually watched the memory usage of your games? Generally they will be programmed to use a certain amount and if you've got more than that certain amount then they simply won't use it, and your extra RAM is quite literally sat there doing nothing.

Really? I read somewhere that, all other things being equal, a larger drive will be faster than a smaller one.
If what you say is true then I'll go for the smaller one. All I care about on the HDD is speed. I don't need space.
Edit1: The site doesn't specify the HDD manufacturer. I'll call them and ask.
Edit2: I found the part of their site listing manufacturers. Apparently all their hard disks are either Seagate or WD.
