Ok this will depend on a couple of things, how many CD or DVD drives do you have??\n\nIDE support  4 devices in Total \nChannel 0 - Master\nChannel 0 - Slave\nChannel 1 - Master\nChannel 1 - Slave\n\nIf you have Serial ATA, then you can support 2 more drives\n\n(These can also be RAID 0 or RAID 1)\n\nSo you can have 2 IDE Masters (1 on each channel) and 2 IDE slaves ( 1 on each channel)\n\nThe OS will take care of naming them, if you have 4 devices then they will become (normally) C: D: E: F:, any card readers will follow on G: H: etc, and Network drives will count down from Z: Y: etc.

You can add a second hard drive inside your computer, or you can use an external drive, yes.\n\nYou can also compress your harddrive, although this reduces performance, and I don't recommend it.  Personally I'd invest in another hard drive to add to the computer, you can pick a cheap one up on the internet, and it isn't hard to install.  http://www.helpwithpcs.com/upgrading/install-hard-drive.htm\nhttp://www.topweb.co.uk/1st/jimupgradehdd.htm\n\nAlso clear as much of as you don't need, uninstall any programs you don't use, any copies of files, etc.  Clear history, and all temporary internet files, cookies, some times theres a lot of that. Empty your recyle bin after. Run diskcleanup. \n\nIf you have a lot of video or music files, consider getting a cd/dvd burner (if you don't have one already) and put large files on cd's.

HPs normally do not provide disks, and it can be a real pain. They place a second, small pertition on the hard drive where you hit F10 to perform a Recovery (re-image the PC). This unfortunately means that you cannot use it with the new motherboard.\n\nIt is best to save yourself a whole lot of headache and just buy a Windows XP OEM disk so that you can do what you need to.\n\nYou find out what kind of hard drives you have by:\n1) Going into the Device Mangager list and googleing the model number(s) of your drive(s).\n2) Turning off your computer, open it up and see what the stickers on the drive(s) say.\n\nGood luck!

it really depends on your mother board, power supply on what it can support. most lower end power supplys cant support more then 2 hard drives. if you want to have more then say 2. i would add in at least a 550 watt power supply.

I believe that this drive is nothing more than an external HDD. So, I suppose that any other external USB HDD would work? But you never know with HP!

i will have to suggest a 120GB hd drive with a 7200rpm all hd drives take about the same power i know this since i upgrade laptop and do custom PCS for people it might be 2 watts more then hat u have but it is worth it in the long run to get an hd drive that runs 7200rpms i speak from experience trye looking at this like for a hd  drive they have good prices

If you have 3 40GB in each computer, you can buy an external 250GB hard disk, and plug it in each computer. Make sure it supports USB 2.0, which is faster.

Go to bios advanced bios setup\nThere you have an option to choose raid or sata

Sata-1 would be a good place for the primary drive. When you expand add to 2, 3 , etc.

According to the HP website info for that model, it can be upgraded to a maximum 512 MB. It takes PC133 SDRAM and has 2 DIMM slots. (Note: While it can physically hold 2x 512, it may not be able to address the 1GB of memory if installed.)\n\nSo you'll have to get a couple of 256MB SDRAM 133MHz PC133 and put one into each of the slots.\n\nNote: Before you go shopping, check what's there currently. The specifications for that computer said that it came with 256, but didn't say whether that was in the form of 1x 256MB module, or 2x128 MB module. If there is a DIMM slot still free, then you only need to get one more module and add it in. If not, then you'll have to pull out the 2x 128MB modules and replace them  with 2x256MB modules.

I am sure this is one of the current best gamming machine configuration.  The only thing keep it from perfection is consider 2 GB of ram instead of 1.\n\nFor the HD, I would add 2 seagate 160GB SATA 2 and set up raid 0.\n\n\nI gave this 9.5/10
