[gary4gar]

my system specs r
amd athlon 64 3000+
msi k8mm-v
256 mb 400mhz ram hynix,in which 64 is seprately for graphics
80 gb sata segrate
no graphics card is installed.
one exhuast fan 1.56w
a 300 W psu

i want to ask that if i install a extra hdd on a seprate ide connector.
1) will it burden my cpu?
2) will it reduce its speed???
3) my psu will take the burden or not??/

1) no
2) no
3) as long as it has a molex connector to support it
id recommend atleast a 400w psu for that config tho !! upgrade if u can
