A friend asked me to make a couple of recommendations for his PC. He's fixing to do a reformat and wanted to do some minor upgrades at the same time.
He has a Dell Dimension 8300
Windows XP Home
Intel Pentium 4, 3000 MHz (15 x 200)
Intel Canterwood i875P/E7210
512 MB (PC3200 DDR SDRAM)
BIOS - Phoenix (02/23/04)
What he wants:
1. Memory
2. New HDD to backup what he already has, and then to use for future storage after Windows reinstall.
Memory:
He currently has 512 (specs above)
My recommendation would be this, as it needs to be a set - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148007
HDD:
He currently has a Seagate 120GB (ST3120026AS - 120 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA)
My recommendation would be - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148140
So my questions are:
Are these suggestions feasible? Specs are OK, etc?
Is there any downside to purchasing an OEM HDD?
