And, I don't think my system supports ATA-6.

ATA is downwards compatible, so that is not an issue.

Great! That's what I was hoping to confirm.
Two other limitations that I would like to confirm are the following:

1) 20 GB - will going with a larger HDD cause problems for my system?
2) 4200 RPM - will going with a higher RPM cause problems for my system?

Also, what about form factor?

Thanks but I was hoping for HDD recommendations, not places to buy.

Anyways, www.newegg.com does not have ATA-5 2.5" x 9.5mm 4200 RPM HDDs.

Also, I think my system supports up to 20 GB HDDs.
Which is better? Fujitsu vs. Hitachi

Ever since the "Deathstars" I don't trust IBM/Hitachi. Unfounded
in the case of notebook HDDs, I know. However from direct comparison
I think thet Fujitsus run quieter.
