I have an old PC (5 years old) that I use for my automation server (I use HV Pro for all critical automation, but PC logs everything, and acts as my media server with JRiver Media).
I had to replace the OS with XP (long story) and am now convinced the biggest bottleneck on the PC is the harddrive. I am considering replacing the main harddisk with a faster one: New Egg Harddrive
Before I go through the time/expense (mostly the time) of doing this - looking for feedback from someone more knowledgable... will replacing the main hard disk with a faster one help?
Spec:
HP Pavilion 8575c
Intel PIII - 555 MHz
256MB Ram
I've added a second hard disk for my music (80GB 7200 rpm).
I don't know what the original hard disk is, but I'm betting it's slow
Thanks in advance.
