Answer 1

If you are using it for storage space, why not just put the data(pictures) on discs and store it that way.  You could put disc in and pull up picture anytime.  You would need way less gb and use mostly RAM.

Answer 2

Ok-here is the answer. But a question first-do you have room in your computer for a second hard drive? If so fine.

First clean out your hard drive you have now -defrag.delete temp files,empty your recycle bin, delete all cookies.Because you need space on your "C" drive.How big is your hard drive now?

I would say a 500GB hard drive is real good-how much do you have now-80GB ? When you install a NEW hard drive you have to jumper it to "slave".I would get a WD or a Seagate.WD has 3 years  and Seagate 5 years guarantee.Look in the link.After you get your new hard drive move your pictures to it-then you will have more room on your old drive.

Gran Mom -what you said is wrong-sorry to say RAM -stores nothing.
