having a single 80gb hdd is not necessarily the best solution for you.
first of all you will have to sell off your current hdd.
secondly 2 separate hdd's means you have a place to backup important stuff, and theres not much chance of both hdd's crashing at once, so your data will be pretty safe.
thirdly you can have a swap file spread over both hdd's seeing that your system is quite underpowered, you he could do with an extra boost in performance.
so dont sell your current hdd. you wont get much money for it considering its really old. simply buy a new 40gb one.
