I am after information about upgrading an HP Pavilion 8513 but I can't find
all the answers I need on HP's web site.

1. RAM. The product spec says it needs 128MB HP Pavilion 168pin PC100
SDRAM DIMM. Harris Technology have the Kingston HP compatible RAM for $124,
which seems rather expensive for a 128M stick. Is it possible to use a bog
standard PC100 or PC133 SDRAM stick?

2. HD. The standard HD is a Seagate 10G. What is the maximum size HD the
BIOS can handle? And does the motherboard support UltraDMA?

Any assistance will be much appreciated.
