I have a Dell Optima 260 that is a good machine for my uses. I have 2GB RAM inside, and I would like to purchase a bigger hard drive. At 4allmemory.com I read that it is not wise (“highly recommended”) to upgrade a hard drive by more than 4x the capacity of the current hard drive in a computer. Is this true, and, if so, could someone explain to me why this is true? According to what I read, the reason was “compatability”, but I don’t know exactly what that would mean in this case. My current hard drive is only 20GB, and I would like to upgrade to a 200GB hard drive to eliminate the need to upgrade in the future. Thankyou in advance…
