dell laptop b130
dell says 80gigs is as big as i can put into the computer. what i want to know is can i put say a 500 gig hardrive in it? and will i have trouble with it? if you could help me that would be great.
Not sure if this will help you find out for sure or if you've already done this, but below is a link to Dell where it gives you 2 ways you can search & find compatible parts specifically for your computer by either letting Dell Scan your PC or enter your unique Service Tag that's at the bottom or back of your system.
If you can upgrade to that large of a drive you'll most likely need to also increase your RAM to at least 1GB by adding another 512MB stick.
