Check with the Compaq web site. (Actually the HP web site as they now own Compaq). Most of the Aramada series uses a standard size laptop hard drive, but they came inside a non-standard size enclosure. (Sorry, but I have not worked specifically on an M300. The site I support only had M700). So you would have to either get a drive from Compaq already in the enclosure, or get a professional to look at it. The encoulsures can be opened and the hard drive swapped. I have upgraded many of the Aramada's. I own two M700s that are currently running on 60gig drives. And an older Armada 7800 on a 20gig.

Yes you can. The older P3's are really dated and very slow as compared to today's laptops. I recently got rid of my old P3 850 MHz Dell and got a newer one that really smokes. Didn't get a new one though. Instead I bought a refurbished Dell Inspiron that's great & it didn't cost me an arm & a leg.
Be warned, if you replace your HD, you'll lose everything. You can back up your needed files or you can buy a 'hard drive enclosure' from eBay and use you old HD as a backup (via a USB port), thus keeping your files intact.

i dout it mate, if it is
pentium 3 probably not to 60 gb maybe 20 max 40 gb,
but it all depends on your system.
You would have to go to one of the shops were they sell internall hard drives and get it checked by them, it shouldn't cost you anything

Yeah, It is possible. You can upgrade to 120GB also. No restrictions is there. Restriction only for the RAM. After certain extent the Processor will not support the RAM
