6. Western Digital AF drives have a jumper to change to mitigate performance issues.

So, yeah, read the instructions before you install it. If setting a jumper is beyond your skills you shouldn't be replacing a hard drive anyway.

There's always linux (I recommend trying Linux Mint) and since XP's 64 bit support blows, many people are going to want to upgrade to Windows 7 to be able to use more RAM anyway. I know I am.
