Interesting about the Dual Vs Quad Core, doesn't seem much point in a Quad, might as well get a big dual core.

Downloading too much *stuff* from the Internet will reduce your hard drive's lifespan.

Truth :

​

Downloading "stuff" into your hard drive all the time will not reduce its lifespan. Even filling up the hard drive completely will not make a difference in its reliability.

Hard drives are like a car's fuel tank. They are designed to store data, like the fuel tank is designed to store fuel. Will your car be more likely to die if you keep filling it up with fuel, or even fill it up completely? Illogical, isn't it?



Don't know about you but my car would die of shock if I filled it up with fuel . It would think it had been used in a bank job , he he .

An of course it's true that downloading stuff from the internet will reduce its life span , all the viruses it will get will weaken it never mind all that extra cleaning you'll have to do on it .
