TECH: Upgrade info

[Mary Hester <mhester@USD310.K12.KS.US>]

Is there a web site that will give me upgrade info about a specific
computer.  For example, I'm wanting to put new RAM and into 4 different
computers.  Is there a site where I can look up the computer brand and model
and it will tell me what type of ram I need to buy?    I'm about to venture
into unknown territory and do these things myself instead of paying someone
else to do it.

On a related topic, I'm looking at external hard drives.  Can any one give
recommendations or tell me what to look for and avoid.  The computer does
not have an IEEE 1394 port, so will not be able to use one that attaches
that way.  This hard drive will be used exclusively for teachers and
students to work on digital video editing.
