Hi all,
my computer is getting clogged up with games, as i only have 80gb memory.
If
i were to buy an external hard drive would it increase the computer memory
or
just act as a huge removable disk? And would i be able to use the memory
to
intall games on?
gb? You mean GB - gigabyte.
memory? You mean hard drive storage space.
Adding a hard drive does not increase potential memory.
Use of an external hard drive can only occur after windows has loaded the
appropriate driver for its connecting bus system. So, any call to that hard
drive may not work early on during the boot process.
