Ok. Good enough. I just orderd the same drive. My SATA controller is onboard. WinXP came preinstalled from Dell. Do you think that I'll still need a slipstream install?

Thanks Peter on the cooler recommendation. I ordered one of those too. Got both from NewEgg for a pretty good deal. $130 for the drive after rebate and $22 for the cooler plus $10 shipping for the two. Hopefully this one will last longer than the Maxtor drive it came with (2 years or so?)
