Somewhat. I just put a 20Gb drive in my 5300c. You have to open the case
up quite a bit to get at the drive. Also the newer drives have different
mounting holes to accomodate larger platters. I drilled new holes in the
plastic bracket to fit the drive.

My new drive draws 10% more current according to the ratings on each drive.
This should be offset by it's faster speed.
>What's the largest Hard drive available for my machine?
I put in a 20Gb but I'm pretty sure I saw 60Gb drives when I was looking.
For this machine though I think 20Gb ought to be plenty.
Otherworld computing had the drive for $115.
>Also, can I change the trackpad to a trackball?
Not that I've seen.
