I'd keep it. install linux into it so that you have something to bounce your

You don't need a fast HDD as long as you have enough RAM to not need to do much paging/swapping. Of course, slower means applications will take longer to load, but it's ok overall. You might feel like you're playing a PS2 befor eyou get used to it.

Keep it. It's a good disk made to last. 20GB is always handy

If you don't want it, mail it to me! I could use it! Finally toss out that old 3GB HDD from my old computer and have a 20GB one for it.

(If/when I finally get a new moniter for it)
