luvmy83wing Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 Ok Ladies,You lost me... You have added a HD box to the box? Does it help...better than adding memory...when our computer was hit by a virus last year, when I took it in to get fixed, the company doubled its memory. But since then I think I need it to be doubled again...too much Zoo Tycoon... Had to correct something above, "I'm not trying to be funny" just noticed that my brain went faster than my two fingers typing, sorry! As to Firefox, Total Commander etc.?????? What they were talking about (HD box to the box) is called a removable hard drive or a zip drive it is removable storage meaning that it is not continually hooked to the comp. you can connect it to download your files onto it or to remove them from it. It is a good source to have to back up your computer as if you would have had it before your comp crashed all files that you lost would have been saved. I am computer illiterate but that is how I understand that they work don't have one yet myself but intend to get one soon. Where I work we sell them for not a whole lot of $. Around the $125.00 mark for 160GB hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ageise02 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 exoticcats, do you have XP? Because if you do then you can download files without anything additional XP has a built in extraction program that works quite well for downloading files for the game. I even make combined ztd files with it. Â Caddienoah, As for if the external is better than adding memory. I am not exactly sure how to handle this one. There are 2 kinds of memory the first is the memory that stores your programs and files and the second one helps to determine how fast your PC responds to your commands. If your concern is that the PC is slowing down and needs more memory then the Hard Drive won't really help but if its storage memory you need then the Hard Drive is exactly what you need. I just added the new HD and then I also, added more memory to make the PC work faster. The HD also, protects my files in case of another crash. If I ever have to reformat the HD again everything on the external is safe and I will only lose what is in the C drive. Hope this helps anymore questions please feel free to ask.

ageise02 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Actually I made an error above and I don't just store my dls on the ext. HD my game is also loaded on to it. As well as, most of my programs on my PC, as my external is bigger than my internal one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
