Hello!

If you are not a heavy duty player then go for the HD! We all need more space dont we

Where do you live?

If I look at those prices you gave they are slightly to expensive for a 160GB HD with only 2MB cache these days. Here in Sweden a 160GB Seagate Barracuda with 8MB cache cost around $130-$150. It makes a huge difference 8MB cache is pretty much standard these days and important during video processing and encodings and direct stream imports of video.

"Do you play games that require high graphics or can u not play high graphic games on low settings?"

Hello&#33;

So you mean canadian dollars&#33;

That explains it&#33;

150 canadian is about 831 Swedish crowns which is about &#036;110 US.

That is a normal price for a 160GB disk with 2Mb cache&#33;. But I would still recommend the 160GB with 8MB cache which is only marginally more expensive(atleast here in Sweden where the price difference is only &#036;15)&#33;
