I have used Swap Magic for almost a year now, and I have bought over 20 games (all of which I made backups for), and the swapping, loading, rebuilding, etc. is getting a bit redundant. Right now I'm thinking of getting HDAdvance 3.0 ($29.95, because I have $19.95 in-store credit at the place I want to buy it), a Eth&Mod Network Adapter ($19.95), and a Maxtor DiamondMax Ultra ATA/133 - 200GB Hard Drive (I need a bit of help w/ this, I see on eBay they have them for $60-$80 and up, but is there a store that sells it for those prices or lower?). Is there anything special I should know?

And BTW, I have two more questions:
1. Can I go online with games on the hard drive?
2. Can I normally put GT4 on the hard drive w/ HDAdvance 3.0? I read that if it's DVD-9, then you can just do it normally, is that true?

not really. you just need to make sure the hard drive is setup right. and i think from what i have heard hdadvance has a format option so that the hdd is set right. i hear that hdadvance has a conversion tool so that you can make DVD-9 games work.

I heard that you can't go online with HDAdvance, is that true? If not, then what do you have to do to go online? And if there is no way to get online, then why is it like that?

Actually, I have another question:

Can you use cheat codes (such as Codebreaker) with HDAdvance on games? I can do it normally now (Codebreaker --> Swap Magic --> Game), but if I can't do it with HDAdvance, then I don't think I want it.
