deffinetly need more ram, and a larger hard drive would make it work somewhat faster, but you dont need 300gb for that machine. What could you possibly use it for?

have a lot of programs and pictures...filled up 60 g already.....

i think i have a lot of unused trash in my system that i cant un install...im not sure what to delete....so i was going with a big hd, and switch that to a new pc later on....

any ideas on where to get a cheap drive? i thought 300g was good for 90.00. if i can go smaller, cheaper, that be ok too.

whilst it may seem unneccersary atm, in the future he might need more space. so its best to get it now when its on sale

300gb for $90 is a very good deal, i just saw that right now you only have 6.19gb, thought it was kind of a big jump. lol
