My son has a dell dimension 4100 P3 w 866MHZ, He is about out of memory with his 40GB ultra ATA 7200 hard drive. Can I put a 120 GB WD which is on sale this week in the system without exceeding the limit. Or should I just add a 80 GB WD which is also on sale. The price difference after rebates if just 10 dollars. I also have two options to add the new drive as a master slave or to add the drive to the zipdrive power. I was told this by a dell rep but he did not seem very knowledgeable about what was in my system. Thanks for your help.
