If you really want more than one, you'd be better off getting the 160gb one for $48 after GCO or the 250gb...

Not the best if you want to overclock, but Anandtech liked it when it was reviewed recently.

SATA2, SLI, can even be upgraded to support socket 940.
This old dog know's what's a waste of time and what's not. The extra 5% to 10% speed you get out of your overclocked ECS VALUE board is so worth the 50% MTBF you'll get out of it. Hopefully it won't crash while you're doing your term paper, but maybe it will.

"The best strategy is to build the cheapest rig that will meet your needs today, and possibly the next two years, then build another rig on the 3rd or 4th year."

As a dba I always want more platters as i get better read times with smaller bits of data if it's spread across as many platters as possible. But I'm working with 7 and 14 disk arrays. For a home pc, the number of platters will have a marginal effect at best.
"Perhaps you all are not aware of the windows 32-bit memory limitation? No one app can stablely use more than 1.5 gigs at any given time. Try running photoshop on 32-bit windows with 2 gigs of memory and no scratch disk. Load up all that 2 gigs and watch windows freak out. "
