P5PKPL-AM se

So this is the board that I have and would like to get a hard drive for it.

Other info:

Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz 2.39GHz
1GB of RAM
32-bit Windows Vista spk 1

thats about it.

The computer will be used for the Web, emails, etc. and office work.


Thanks for a suggestion.

I've seen the new big hard drives that go cheap but wonder if they fit the system.

Thanks

That motherboard will handle any IDE or SATA (preferred) hard drive up to and including 2 TB.

You need more ram - 1 GB on Vista with onboard video is not enough.
