    well first off, hp is not going to lie about what the box can support, unless you catch some kid on a friday night about to go out and party and you are holding him up.......they want to bloat your systems until it cant hold anything anymore

    second......there is always usb storage, its quite nice and easy to transport

    The current Pavilions can support up to 4 GB of RAM with the newest BIOS. I am not sure of the HDD limitation, though it seems that it should recognize all SATA 2.5" HDD.
