A hard drive is only attached to the mother board by an IDE cable. The size of hard drive is irrelevant. You don't have to change memory sticks either. The real question is whether your EIDE is good enough for this new hdd to utilize it to the max. Perhaps you need to upgrade to newer computer.

All you really have to know is, if you use a SATA HDD, you may have a problem installing that. As long as you use a IDE HDD, you should have no problems with installation. Just follow the instructions that come with the HDD for installation, format it and you'll be ready to go.
