Speed volume vs idle quiet.

When you are in an office, library, or any environment where background noise exists, the fan of a computer is not a big deal. When in an environment that the fan is annoying, it does not take much to hear something else when it is off : hard drive.

My notebook has an old Hitachi drive. It clicks, it is slower than my usb key and well it is old. I am thinking of switching it to a 5400rpm, 4 times the capacity and I do not hear a single click when in use. However the idle spin sound is a little louder. The best compromise would be a SSD, but it would cost more than my computer.

Faster hard drive is not really worth it!

Esa computadora, no es tan nuevo, al contrario. Es viejito de 2003, pero peudo todavia ver la peliculas HD, juegos 3D y sin duda escribir mi puta de tesis.

Al inicio crei que mi ventilador hace desmacio de ruido, en este momento pienso el mismo, pero cuando el ventildator no gira, puedo entender mi disco duro.

La vida es tan complicada. Una cosa no es sufficiente, quiero una otra! Acostombrarse sonido del disco duro, pero el ideal no hay!

Bueno, que pudeo decir para mejorar el silencio del ordenador?

Mas de memoria, entonces el sistema no necesito utilizar la memoria virtual
no utilizar anti-virus o otros programas que utilizan el disco o la memoria.

SSD worth it?

For power, speed and shock resistance, yes a SSD is well worth the money, but they are still too expensive for how much they will improve the performance of the everyday computer user. Not a gamer, and satisfied with 512MB RAM, all I think about SSD is noise.

If you do not have a million start up programs, a "real-time" virus scanner or other processes that clog up your system, an old pentium III will be more than adequate for business use. Writing reports, a mid size customer, resource database etc will be fine.

I will wait until they are affordable.
