| 1187516 | 2011-03-19 16:14:00 | I have been given a AMD Sampron Desktop Computer with keyboard/XP Disk/Speakers but minus a hard drive which died. The person who gave it to me has thrown out the HD. This pc is about 8 years old. I thought I would try and pick up cheap 40 HD and see if I could get it up and running and give it away to a youngster. Im a bit green about the 2.5 ... 3.5 aspect of HD's and not certain which one I buy..... could someone please help out with that. |

| 1187518 | 2011-03-19 19:19:00 | 2.5" is for laptops. And I'd get bigger than 40GB. | pctek (84) | ||

| 1187520 | 2011-03-20 00:53:00 | This is a 3.5" inch which is most likely what you require. simple.wikipedia.org Current size availability is usually 160GB upwards, and you most likely need one with an IDE interface. www.ascent.co.nz |
