I have 1 GB RAM , Core 2 Duo 2.13 Ghz and have a 60 GB Internal IDE HDD. I plan to upgrade my HDD to either 500 GB or 1 TB. Can someone please suggest whether my Rig will support a 1 TB HDD and do I have to upgrade RAM for better results.
the details you've provided is very little and you have not told the model name of your mobo though as you have told you have a c2d cpu based rig your rig will support 1TB or even 2TB SATA HDD .
YES....
HDD Capacity Support does not depend on ur ram , CPU and AKAIK also Mobo.
I have intel based motherboard don' remember the exact chipset.
ya u can put a 1TB HDD, better go with 1TB WD caviar blue or Seagate barracuda 1TB. Both are 7200 rpm. Both are gud
Hard disk size is os dependent. Windows xp and above will support any size just remember to keep the file system NTFS. Fat32 can only support max single file size of 4gb.
sure he is not using a UNIVAC from 1950's
I've assumed about his modern age rig by looking at the Core 2 Duo 2.13 Ghz word.
Ok guys based on your answers looks like I can go for a 1 TB Internal HDD.
Just wanted to inform that the motherboard I have is DG 965 RY. Though I know it may not be of any consequence.
there should not be any kind of consequence - just go ahead and buy a 1TB or even 2TB hdd.
