Slightly more expensive but much better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148288
If you use Vista then you will want the memory, COD4 uses nearly half a GB on occasion on this system.

32mb over 16mb really that big of a difference in hdds? I've went from a 5400rpm notebook drive to a 3gb/s 80gb 7200rpm desktop drive and i really don't notice a whole lot of difference.

You don't even really use that much cache. Manufacturers just put it there to make you buy it. After all, most people think "the more the faster"...
