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!

In other manual (Quick Reference) I seeing max capacity is 160Gb.

Is there any real limitations of HDD size for my HP 530?
