Hello, I'm using HP 530 and I want to upgrade it's hard drive.
In documentation specified that my notebook supports only 80/120Gb hard drives and up to 2Gb RAM.
Is it true? Can't i use more capacious HDD or RAM.
And what type of HDD i should by? Is it compatible with SATA2 2,5" drives?
I have model with Intel 945GME chipset (p/n ke666aa#acb)
PS: sorry for bad english
UPD:
Thank you very much for answers!
Yesterday I plugged 2Gb RAM module and with existing 1Gb module I get 3Gb RAM and it works fine.
Also I replaced my hard drive with SATA2 500Gb 7200rpm drive and it wotks fine too!
