    Wanting to get a bigger internal hard drive for it, any advice is appreciated. Thinking 1 TB and 7200 RPM, I have the NVIDA graphics card that they offered. Thanks in advance! :) How hard is it to remove and install a new HD in one of these machines? :)

    Edited: I see I posted in the wrong forum. I'm really sorry, can a mod possibly move this to the Inspiron forum? It's weird I thought I was in there when I went to post....

    It doesn't matter if you get a SATA 2 or 3 hard drive, as the standard is backwards and forwards compatible.
