Shouldn't be a problem. What is the exact model number of your IBM. Gotta ask why you posted in the Me forum instead of General Hardware or XP forum? Skip

No you can put in whatever you want , the caveat being the size that the Windows OS will handle . Some of the older windows programs like win 98 an ME won't handle the huge 300 gig harddrives they have now.
