Max ram is 2gb. 256mb is to low for Win XP (though 2000 might be okay) your really want 512mb+, preferably 1gb. Bear in mind this board takes older style ram, which can be more expensive than the newer stuff!
Cant find a max on the hard drive size, but 160gb will work fine. As with the RAM, the board supports older style hard drives only, NOT SATA, only IDE. Just something to watch for when buying a new HDD, having made that mistake before

Also, if you plan to replace your existing drive and make the 160gb drive your main OS Drive, make sure you install a version of XP with SP1 or later, as original the XP release only supported HDDs upto 137gb.

There's always some kind of logic behind it, but it always strikes me as odd that they make the maximum HDD supported 137 of something...
Not what you'd call a round number ![]() (Obviously it's always to do with Computer logic, not human logic.. )
