Get your glad rags on because you're going SHOPPING

New HDD [IDE as stated - at LEAST as big as the original - 40GB are cheapest nowadays though]
RAM grab a couple of sticks of 256MB SDR [check the old one for speed - I suspect 100MHZ, although 133MHz will do, IF they are matched]

then whilst out, head to the local A+E, and have them pull that stick out of your Butt ..........
