Title: Hard Disk Size
Post by: webbhardwaj on August 17, 2011, 04:57:48 AM

Hi,
What is the maximum size of hard Disk that we can use in our computer?
Does it affect the speed of the computer also or just RAM affect the speed of computer?

Hard disk size is virtually unlimited in computers-however, if your computer doesn't support 48 bit LBA, you are limited to 137.4 GB IDE drives.


RAM amount and clock speed, CPU clock speed and number of cores and amount of L1/2/3 cache, and Hypertransport speed, CPU-northbridge frequency, all play a part in the "overall" speed of the computer. If you are a gamer, you will want to focus on the graphics card too.
