Absolutely!!!.You could even run a higher capacity hard drive/disk if you wanted.The "gig" you refer to is simply shorthand for gigabytes which is the storage capacity of the hard drive/disk or your onboard memory etc. You should have no trouble with a "40 gig hardisk".Just follow the instructions supplied with any of your hardware and enjoy the benefits.Remember to upgrade your onboard MEMORY as well.

You'll need to purchase a new 40GB HDD and installed it as a slave drive in your system.
Do take note on the interface of the HDD that your system is using, which I guess will most probably be ATA100/133.
There're quite a few different interface out there in the market:
ATA66/100/133, SATA, SATA2 and eSATA (normally for ext. drives).
Do Not Purchase a Harddisk of different interface from that of your system as it'll not work or rather, you cannot even install it.

Yes, my old P3/600 Gateway Performance had a 100gb HDD in it. My mom still uses that computer and I would put it up against ANY P4 I've seen! :-) It was just a good combination of the right stuff. good luck :-)
