Thanks alot :) At first i thought the max hard drive space was only 120 gb, and the max ram was only 512 mb. What did u mean by 'Max Hard Disk Drive:  Largest Drive Shipped:  120 GB  ' tho? is that the largest dell will ship to you? Also would I have to do anything special to my bios or anything to install the 200 gb Hd or will it be easier to install the 120 gb hd. Sorry for all the questions but ur help is greatly appreciated :)

The largest hard drive dell sold installed in the 2350 was 120 GB.  The system will handle a larger drive, but Dell never sold it in that configuration.  It will work with 2 hard drives, but Dell never sold it with 2 HDD either.
