Adding a hard drive

I have a Dimension 2350 with a 30GB hard drive and Windows XP home edition. My questions are...
1. Can I keep the current hard drive and add a second drive? 
2. Is there a limitation on the size of drive I can add? (Or if I can't add one is there a limitation on the size drive I can replace the current one with?)
3.Will replacing the drive require any other changes to the computer (new controller card, etc.)
4. Does Dell sell internal hard drives for this computer. I could only find a Maxtor external drive on the site.
 
Thanks,
 
Greg

To add a second drive, you'll need a bracket from Dell or www.issue-resolved.com. You'll also need a dual-drive cable.

You should be safe to 120G - beyond that you may need a controller card.

You can buy a hard drive anywhere - it need not be from Dell. I would for now, at least, buy from WD, Seagate, Hitachi or Samsung.
