Most new games use about 4 gigs, with patches and all so ditto. Plenty of space.

No problem, unless you took up some serious downloading, you should not have any space issues for quite some time. I could fill it in about an average months worth of downloading, but thats me.

Yah, that's only two HD-DVDs. There's no way you can be a successful media pirate with that amount of space. ;)

Whew! Thank guys! As soon I'll install my old / new games and programs on my HD. But I'll keep watch much HD memories. If close fill, buy a new HD. I burned programs, mods for games, and more from the internet on blank CD-R.

Well, I have ATI Radeon X1600 512mb PCI-E and DDR 512mb. Are Call of Duty 2 and DOOM 3 perfect with that Video Card to smooth gaming?

Try them and find out, Doom 3 should at least run ok, even a budget card of that generation should be able to get some decent frames out. Call of Duty 2 might be another story. And 512 MB of RAM is not enough for either game, Doom 3 runs best on 1 GB and up.

DOOM 3 released is too early for that 512mb VC! Is 1GB VC released now? So, I dream myself make a new Video Card named
ATI Radeon Thousand Fur PRO 512TB.
It's great for Descent 5: BlackHole and Paws in WWII! They're my idea. XD

Another game good for \"benchmarking\" is Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. It does a fair job of taxing a system with all the eyecandy on. If you don't have the 30 bucks to shell out or don't want to, grab the demo HERE
