250 GB of space is the standard nowadays. You can get up to 3 terabytes on a Mac Pro these days.
whoa! so its not really an athlon 3000+?!
if it is really a 3000+ model all you need to do is configured your mobo. maybe it is set to a lower fsb. it has a manual included right? or if you dont want to touch a bios or your mobo, a technician could help you with it.

Hi Shannon
1.09GHz sounds too low. If the BIOS was reset to factory settings this might
happen. When you boot, it should indicate an Athlon XP 3200+ processor. To
fix this you have to go into the BIOS settings and adjust the CPU clock
manually (I don't recall exactly what to set, though I think it should be
set to around 2.2GHz?). The motherboard doesn't automatically set the CPU
speed for you.
As for the LCD, it sounds like you have a stuck pixel. You could try
removing power from it for a short time, but there's not a lot we can do
about those. The monitor is out of warranty and Philips state that they only
replace the screens for three stuck pixels, anyway (which I suspect doesn't
win them any friends). It was OK when I checked it, I saw nothing out of
place. Maybe something moved during shipping. Sigh.

Once you get into the BIOS open Advanced Chipset Features. Set CPU External Frequency to 200 and Memory Frequency to Sync.

One of the guys I work with has two 300 GB drives in his PC. For most people it's overkill (to say the very least) but it does come in handy if you're working with/storying a lot of multimedia files.

for instance Jao's street patch for Live looks like shit on my PC
The freaking NVIDIA drivers for Vista combined with my 7900 GT and an AMD processor causes most games to be a flickering corrupted mess, and it has gone unfixed for two months now
The most annoying thing right now for me is the Stupid Genuine Windows Advantage (my copy of XP is legit, not pirated). Its not so much that I can't use Media Player 11 or that I can't connect with my 360, its that it tries to install at least once every week even when I say do not install without me approving. And when I click no, or later, it restarts the computer.
yeah I'm having problems with the new WMP 11 as well. I couldn't even play a regular DVD I bought from the store.
Apparently AMD isn't interested in allowing logical applications of common sense to their product lines.

That seems highly unlikely given the Z650 doesn't exsist. If it was a typo & you meant Z560 (which does exsist), then it's a 4.1 system. 4 Speakers, 1 Subwoofer.
So where does the center speaker come from?
