I'd appreciate some enlightenment...

I went to the computer shop wanting to buy a 320 GB hard disk drive, but the computer guy said I should settle for the 120 GB since my 2.4 GHz Pentium4 might not work well with the 320.

Why? Is it worth the risk to go for the 320 anyway?

Because I really, really want the 320...

And also, would a bigger hard disk size speed up my sad, slow computer?

Thanks for anyone's help!

i have not so old western digital harddisk,
which only damage at several part of the harddisk and i can still use it not as the primary harddisk but i only use it as secondary harddisk.

But after i low-level-formatted the harddisk (my friend advise me to do so) the harddisk is now officially dead. what went wrong, and how can i revive the harddisk back to life. is it possible to revive it? since its not a physical damage, it just software damaged i think.

I also can on about every 10th try get my windows to load, but then all of a sudden EVERYTHING will freeze, no keyboard, mouse, Ctrl-Alt-Delete, will work. I can't seem to keep anything on for more than a few minutes, and then either it will freeze or shut down. I would love to try and fix this without reformatting, and would really appreciate some help.

Those who have Acer with Windows vista. When I start up my computer there's an error message says that your activation period has expired because you didn't activate the product key in 30 days. I tried retyping the product key but it stills not working. You will receive an error message says "The product key you have entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista". You must either run Windows Vista setup (whitch it won't run with no windows in it) or enter a Vista Buesiness product key. I NEED HELP!!!
