Alright, my computer is pretty old, so right now it's got a harddrive with the size of 3 MB, and that one's finished, because it broke. :rolleyes2
I've got a new one now, and that one's about 10 MB.
The old one could perfectly manage NES games, and SNES games too, but they were much worse.

Now I wonder, will a 10 MB harddrive manage SNES files without lagging too much?
After all, the one with 3 MB at least could show the files, even though they sucked a bit. :p

Your new computer has a 10MB harddrive? Are you sure you don't mean 10GB? Computers haven't had 10MB of harddrive since before I was born.

Harddrive is simply the amount of storage space. If you want to know if your computer will handle games you need to use RAM. What version of Windows does the computer have?

Go to My Computer > View System Information on the left or Start > Control Panel > System if you can find that, I think that would help... What does it say under "System:" and "Computer:" ?

I need to install this harddrive first. :p

Oh.. :) Well if on the old computer they worked but sucked a bit I can only imagine this is better...I wouldn't imagine the SNES needed too powerful to use but not sure... I remember having it on an old computer, where a GBA emulator could barely run but SNES was okay... but yeah harddrive definately fine, it's just the other stuff that would affect it I think.

The 10GB harddrive will probably work the same or better than the 3GB one.

My first computer was from around 1998 and it could run SNES emulators just fine. It had trouble with N64 games.
