Need Some Hard Drive Replacement Help

ggibbs · 08-20-2009, 04:12 AM

Hello all. New here and this is my first post.
I have a TigerDirect Systemax PC that's about 5 1/2 years old. It's been a great PC and still works OK, but I thought I'd do some upgrades here and there. I want to start with the hard drive then up the RAM.
Here are the specs on my PC:

(1) Mini-Tower mATX Chassis w/350W PS P4M266 Motherboard
(1) Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
(1) Intel Pentium 4 Processor 2.8 GHz 533FSB w/ 512K Cache
(1) 512MB DDR333 PC2700 Non-ECC Memory (512MB x 1)
(1) 40GB Ultra ATA (5400rpm) Hard Drive
(1) GeForce FX5600-8X 128MB Video Card with TV Out
(1) 16x (max) DVD ROM Drive

I want to replace the drive with a 500Gb drive. What type will be compatible? I've found a local computer company that has been in business for many years that will mirror the data from my old drive to a new for a very reasonable price.

Thanks for the help.
