Upgrading laptop hard drive..

[ftngrave]

I want to upgrade my Gateway MX3702's hard drive (the current size is only 45-50 GB).

Here's a link to the laptop's specs:

My question is, how do I figure out what kind of hard drive and how large (in GB) a hard drive my laptop can handle?

My laptop has the 1.6 GB processor it came with, but I've upgraded the RAM to 2 GB.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Any hard drive that is a PATA interface and 2.5" form factor will work. Any size hard drive will work.

Any of those will work.

I suggest you just get an external. you will need to clone your existing hdd to new if you want it replace.
you could probably get IDE 320GB for $90. with external, $90 could get you 1TB.
