I use macs for my work, and have been away from PC updates in technology, I need to get my old PCs up and running for a project, but am unsure what to buy.
I need a new hard disk to put a new OS XP install on, things have moved on a LOT, since I last bought and upgraded PCs, this is for a very old PC, 2.6 gig athlon, that's not dual core or quad core or whatever core they are up to nowadays. I don't really want to spend much money for this machine as its very old, so I am looking on eBay for some options, interestingly I see brand new hard disks 250 gig for xbox are priced at 1 pound courtesy of China, unbelievable, I then look at the PC category, I see external USB HD drives for a few pounds. New 750 gig external usb HD listed with the same pricing as second hand 10 - 100 gig internal regular hard disk variety. This is quite a disparancy in prices, what do you advice here, I want to get my old PCs running, but unsure of what to get these days to get these old computers up and running.
