You received good advice above, but there is one other thing to check
before buying a hard drive. The BIOS of older machines may not support
as large a hard drive as you wish to buy. It would be worth checking
how large a drive your BIOS will support beforehand.

Also, depending on the make of PC/motherboard, a BIOS update may be
available that would help in this area. 

No sense in spending money to buy a 300 or 500 GB hard drive only to
find out after the fact that your motherboard won't support it.
