* 7200RPM
* 8MB Buffer
* Ultra ATA 100 Interface

It's an IDE, right?
and what does Ultra ATA stand for?

Hey Virtual, thanks man, I didn't notice that one,
but why do you consider that one to be better than the maxtor,
not that I disagree or something, just so next time I know, lol.
and about buying at Frys, well, Im very happy with the service they have provided me
on previus times and they have the lowest prices I've seen, and also the thing is that I dont consider
the mail service here in mexico to be as reliable as in US or Europe,
so I havent made that leap to eShoping.
Though they tell me FedEx is eficient anywhere, so may be soon...

Why WD over Maxtor?
As with all things in computers, heat is the destroyer. Maxtor drives run hotter, so IMO they are inherently less reliable.
Yes they are both IDE (or more precisely EIDE).
EIDE refers to the 40 pin interface configuration and the associated circuits on the drive, these days often incorrectly called PATA to distinguish it from SATA.
Ultra ATA refers to the data transfer method using high speed DMA transfers. Ultra ATA only exists on EIDE drives.

Well, I think tomorrow I will go and get the one 'Virtual' recomended,
seems the best deal.
... and then I'll get back to you all so you tell me how to install it... Lol.
just a joke, I'll figure it out.

out of stock, crap.
they said it was out of stock at Frys.
I'll have to see if a friend can get it online for me.
whre would be a good website (in america) to get the HD 'Virtual' recomended,
apart from Frys?, or should I get it from there?,
hey, why not, right?
as a consolation I bought the Sound card...lol.

I only recommended that one because you limited yourself to Frys.
Well now, since you're no longer getting it from Frys, then I highly recommend this one:

It's similar to the first one I posted but it's IDE.

Wow, that one even has the connection picture and all,
but its almost double what I was expecting to spend on a hard drive.
