RAM comes in 184 and 224 pin sizes and DDR or DDR2 and different types within those. To figure out the RAM you need to order for your new computer go to http://www.kingston.com/ and enter your type of computer and then it will tell you what kind of RAM it uses. Then you can order the RAM from http://www.newegg.com or http://www.ZipZoomFly.com

This site lists them all. Good Luck
And to answer your harddrive question, it is not the size of harddrive, when figuring in RAM, it is the size slot, and the type ram you need. Harddrive problem is irrelevant....

that is in fact due to a difference in the type of RAM, there is SDIMM, DDR, etc...
