I really don't think you need to upgrade anything. Not if it is a system for movies. I am unsure of the specific trouble you are having? I know you want to upgrade because it is an old system. However, you shouldn't replace something that is working, right? It is unnecessary cost.
yeah thats treu, i got the problem only because the system dont wright fast on my extern hdd form the intern hdd takes sometime ours to wright a 10gb movie onto a extern hdd i just want to make it quicker?
is that possible?
well if you connect the hdd on a usb 1.1 port then its very slow, on a usb 2.0 port it should be better. if youre mobo doesnt have a usb 2.0 port then its realy time for an upgrade.
it has a 2.0 usb moving files at about 10mb per second.
can you give us the rest of your system specs. so that we know what kind of upgrade capability´s there are..
i lean forward to an upgrade to a AMD platform.
cpu: FX6300
mobo: Asus M5A97 R2.0
ram: 2x4 GB Gskil arras 1866mhz.
