Modules that work in your laptop.
http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208893
64GB PATA/EIDE, $80.
Max Sequential Read
Up to 114.7 MB/s
Max Sequential Write
Up to 63.92 MB/s
Due to the 64GB it's too slow. I'd rather have the 250GB HD below.

Should work fine. $105. But with the price of this+40 for mem if you have the cash you can get a junker laptop from dell for $300 and it would be BLOWING away your old system with support for sata, usb2 (or 3.0), 16-32GB (depending on model), new OS etc.

Loaded with 4GB already (2x what you'd buy for $40), 500GB! double again over the WD drive above. Dual core celeron

Up to 2.4ghz celeron. chip just launched Q1 2014 22nm, battery should be pretty good on this system.
Did I mention it was $250?
so entire new system (and the have even better for $300) or a slow drive (2x125GB platters and SSD probably slower) +mem for ~150. I'll take the NEW system please.
Only $100 more. Only thing missing is an optical drive but that can be added later external or you may have on already.
I think the WD might have 2x133 platters but they just lop off some to get 250 (I have on in mine, just can't remember). Still FAR slower than the single 500GB platter in the new system as areal density and better cache etc speeds these up. There is much more you can do with a 500GB and new machine, maybe even some decent GOG.com gaming or something.
Hope this helps.
