I got the new drive and I've got to admit, I'm pretty impressed. I read all the benchmark sites and they basically say it's not the fastest drive but it's quiet and not a bad performer. This thing manages to pull 55mb/sec off hdparm -t. The wd1200jb never really got past 45. Certainly the fastest drive I've ever used.

I have a Seagate 160gb SATA drive on the way here, hopefully it will get here tomorrow, as well as a new clock for the car. Only time will tell. I think I updated my desktop pic a while ago, whatever.
got ram back

Newegg sent the ram back pretty damn quickly and I ran memtest on it for 2 hours, I'm pretty damn sure it's good. All seems well. Having 512mb ram seems pretty nice. Except on windows maybe.
