Not trying to argue, I just want to learn;) Yes, size will make a difference assuming that the HDD has significantly more data on it than the SSD. However, the speed difference would be small compared to the boost given by the SSD's extra speed over the HDD. |

Not trying to argue, I just want to learn;) Size, type, and quantity of files makes a difference. Drive size is, for all practical purposes, irrelevant. An 80GB drive with 10,000 7MB ZIP files will be more intensive to scan than a 2TB drive with 100 7MB ZIP files. In fact, you'll also find that it's quite possible the bigger drive is newer, and performs better (though this is not a factor of size, just of drive performance and technology). |

The AMD is faster and also quad core as against dual core which would certainly make a difference if you wanted to carry on using the PC. |
