As long as you use that hdd in the same computer you are using now, then yes, you can. As for the RAM, unless it's of the same brand/make, only one of the sticks *usually the biggest* will be used by the system. And your last question, yes, your windows will still work, but don't add too much other stuff, only 5 hardware changes *internal hardware of course, not peripherals* are allowed if i remember correctly... Anyone care to back me up on that one?
Thank u very much for your time hope to see ne other answers regarding good cheap ram uk sites thanks very much fiend.
