Pavillion G6

Hi

 

I want to upgrade my hdd, since windows is showing hdd error notice every now and then. I have 500 GB 5200 RPM SATA. My question is : can I go for 7200 or more speedy 1 TB hard drive? Will my computer support such drive.

 

Also, does this version come with 2 GB rams in two slots or 1 slot 4 GB, because I want to upgrade my memory modules too.

 

Regards

Arunendra
