Re: Urgent
DONT BUY A 40GB HDD
A new 40gb hard drive will cost you 2300 [samsung] while a brand new 80GB costs 2500 {give or take 200rs on the prices for other brands}.
I suggest you go for a new 10K RPM 80gb seagate/samsung drive for 'bout 2400/2500.
[Even buying a 40 gb HDD will overshoot your budget.]
Ram brands: kingston, corsair.
One 256 strip will cost you bout 1.2K~1.6K.
--------------------------------------------------------
80GB 10K rpm samsung ------------> 2.5K
kingston DDR1 400mhz 256Mb----> 1.5K

Re: Urgent
Go for Transcend DDR1 400mhx 256mb. I think it will cost around 1600-1700.

Re: Urgent
My main purpose for upgrading RAM and Hard Disk capacity is to increase my computer speed. Supposing I just upgrade RAM to 256MB, and retain the 20GB Hard Disk (to save costs), will there be a good increase in speed (if yes, by how much?), or do I HAVE to change my hard disk also to get better results?

Is it true? 10K RPM for such a price!

Re: Urgent
I dont think computing speed depends directly on a HDD`s capacity. One just need to defrag and scan it to get the maximum out of it. But PRM is important so if u r not bothered about space then concentrate on PRM. U can always consider old faithful Seagate for HDD.
As of RAM consider a DDR2 if ur motherboard supports it and go for the maximum considering ur budget. U can consider Hyundai. I am using it for last 3 years and did not face any problem.
