[DuoList] need info on which HD to install in 2400

[Ralph Mawyer]

David, MCE will do a great job, but as with most turn-key solutions 
you'll pay more for the drive.

You might consider buying a 80MB  Hitachi and sending it to MCE for 
install and have them do the CardBus upgrade at the same time. They 
should cut you a deal on the CardBus labor since you have to go all the 
way in to do the HD.  The early Toshibas were problematic on the 2400, 
but that was 8 years ago. ;-).

2.5" drive will work. 3.5" was standard. Heat is always in issue with 
the 2400 so you might ask the installer to be sure the 2.5" is making 
contact with the heat sink and/or other heat absorption component.

I think you'll be happily surprised how much quicker the 2400 will feel 
with a faster HD for most everyday task.

cheers...
