The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    Just making sure if these parts will work...

    They will work fine, though I'm not sure about the processor, but I've heard that it will work.

    The RAM is the right kind, and the HD is easy to pick out :)

    Processor upgrade:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103575

    Proven to work fine.

    RAM Upgrade:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145096

    Should work fine.

    HDD: you need PATA version, not SATA. V2000z does not support SATA.

    I can't seem to find any PATA Hard Drives on newegg.com... I'd appreciate it very much if someone could direct me to either one on newegg I may have missed or on a respectable other site.

    They don't list it as PATA, only IDE.

    Basically, look for 2,5" laptop HD's, because they are either SATA or PATA, if it doesn't say SATA, then it is PATA :)

    That should get the job done and it will be pretty fast as well.
