If your comp is quite old you may have trouble getting it to recognize a large modern HD. As to the P4 question, You need to get a CPU and Mobo that have the same socket, some of them are only available in limited numbers so don't go buying a mobo and hope to find a cpu for it in a years time, Beside that if money is an issue then go AMD, if performance is an issue go AMD, if value for money is an issue then go AMD. Anyone feel free to chime in with a reason to go P4, I can't think of one. Your best bet is to buy the necessary parts to upgrade in one hit, from one supplier. This will ensure everything is compatible and that you get the best price. You will find though that upgrading an older comp means replacing it in its entirety, New hd means new mobo, which means new cpu, which means new ram, then the extra power requirements mean new psu....
