I have 22 GIG's used by MSTS. But, I just added a new hard drive. Western Digital 200 GIG with 8 Meg. buffer from Bestbuy for $350.00 with a 130.00 rebate. THAT IS A STEAL! Not all computers can use this drive. Must have BIOS newer than 1999 and be running ME or XP to get past the 137 GIG barrier. But it comes with an ATA100 controller card (PCI) that has BIOS for the big drive. When I can freeup a PCI slot, I will add the card and have room for 4 more IDE devices.
