Ive been thinking about upgrading my hardrive for awhile now.. Ive been using this 80gb Maxtor for well over 2 1/2 years now, which was out of my 1st pc ( A sempron 2000+ 
) Also its a IDE hd.
Its being used as my main drive with Os and Apps on it.. My other 120gb Maxtor stores the games.
Anywho i ran HD tune on it and here are my results.
There probably poor in comparison to modern, sata hard drives.. But what do you think ? Ive never ran this program before. Or even bothered much about my Hd's ( As you can tell by the fact its the only thing left in my pc from when i bought my 1st machine ). The 120gb maxtor also scored more or less the same just without that big dip at 20%.
As for the upgrade im thinking this:

Perhaps do some partitions ( never done some before ) and have 100gb for OS and Apps, 150gb for Storage and 150gb for Games. And flog the older hard drives..
Would i see a decent boost in my bootup speeds ? Variuos loading etc etc.
