going to buy some new hard drive space

i have 40gb and i guess i can go for 80 or 100gb

i also going to buy 1gb memory

question

should i allow my existing 40gb to stay and just use as c drive and move all other stuff to the new drive or what?

im doing this to speed up my pc and delay buying a new pc for a while later

ps

im taking my pc to a pc shop to have the work done

It wouldn't hurt to keep your existing hard drive in your pc. It can be used as a backup or as information.

In my pc, I use the second hard drive as a backup drive of my main one. If there were any problems (Believe me, there has been a few), I just clone the drive using Norton Ghost 2003 to clone over the damaged hard drive and voila, good as new.

Not sure how much memory you previously had in your pc, but having 1gb memory will surely improve the speed of the processes inside your pc.

I'm sure you'll notice a difference here

1gb of memory is more than enough to handle Windows XP.

From 256mb to 1gb, you'll certainly notice the difference.
