I got it.. you got it? It runs better on my system than I ever would have expected (woot!)...

Impressions? Dark, immersive, scary, and fun! I also think you are exposed to more "story" in the first level of DOOM 3 than in all of id's previous games combined.

I just never would have imagined that in the future when interplanetary travel is common, we will have reverted to flashlights and pistols that each require both hands for proper operation. Go fig!

I did that one Sunday. That is to say, the 120gig that used to be the main drive became secondary after I installed a new 250gig (and installed windows fresh on that). (And yes, I configed the jumpers. )

Not to bash you, but why did you make the main drive 250 and the secondary 120? Was there a speed issue (more cache, higher rpm's, etc)?

I made that choice once too, but regretted it. You see, I like to have my secondary hard drive (drive D) store all of my backup files, downloads, drivers, mp3z, movies (all legit, of course

). Then, main main drive have all of my software installed.

I install A LOT of big software (Visual Studio .Net 2003, BEA Weblogic Workshop, JBuilder, Office, Oracle, UT 2004, etc), but I have trouble filling an 80GB drive (not impossible, but not likely).

Again, maybe you do have a lot of software to install or the newer drive is faster (or more reliable). I'm just saying from my experience, that the extra room comes is a lot more handy when storing files than when installing software.
