Joe, I bought a 9.1 GB Seagate 7,200 RPM Medalist without noting that it takes 11 watts running idle. In a mid-tower case with a PII and lots of cards, it ran too hot for comfort. My guess is that IBM will beat the pack to a cool-running 7,200 RPM drive. Their 14GXP is down around 6.9 idle watts but its 25.2 watt start-up power draw is too much for my taste. There's a new 10GXP out for ~$400 but nothing about it on IBM's web site. Pravin's SIS chipset link is fascinating. Any guess what the UDMA 66 and 64-bit 3D interface will mean in terms of actual performance? It sounds like a perfect match for AMD's next-gen CPUs. And a thorn in NSM's side. Craig
