I've just joined The Hill - and I'm having so much fun - and learning a lot too! After reading up on it, I've decided to take the plunge and install a second hard-drive. I'm not very computer savvy, but I have installed RAM in my computer and it wasn't so hard. But I have a feeling that installing a second hard drive in my computer wont be as easy.
