Re: how big an external hard drive?
Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry
The external drive is USB or Firewire. Unlike an internal
IDE drive that depends on the BIOS and mobo for support, the
external drives depend on USB (hope you have USB 2.0 or
you'll be very unhappy with the slow speed of USB 1.1) the
external drives enclosure includes the support. Get as big
as you wish and can afford.
