system wise you are alright as i have about the same system & will be putting a 160gig hd in mine. the only problem you might have that i will is the windows version, i'm using win98se which supposedly has a problem past 120gig but planning to partition into 2x80gig. if you are using xp than no problem once you have sp1 or 2 loaded

It's asking me to format, and I don't really want to because its for my ps2 and i'm transfering a game onto it. Is there any way of getting around the formating?
