is 80gb hard drive enough?

[bigredjjp2004]

i just bought a brand new dell dimension 4600 with 1gig of memory 9800 pro graphics card and an 80gb harddrive. will this harddrive be big enough to put a good amount of games on my computer?

yeah, shouldn't be a problem.
120 or 160 is a lil better, but just don't install everything under the sun and you'll be fine.

i really just wanted to run call of duty and doom 3 when it comes out. will i be able to run these games at their top settings with the graphics card I have now?

Yea 80 gigs is more then enough worst case scenaro you could still fit atleast 30 games on that... It's when you start downloading large quantities of "stuff" that you need a bigger harddrive/dvd burner. I'd say 40 gigs would be plenty.

Not with Doom 3, but probably COD
