I hope this is not a stupid question
I have a Medion PC 40 GB hard drive, 256 MB RAM 1.8 GHz processor.
Dual boot Windows and Linux
Now I need more hard drive (for photos etc) and more RAM and I have two options :-
1) Upgrade RAM £50 and buy an external hard drive

£120 = total £170
2) Buy a new PC - £400
What is best ? I am worried that the external hard drive would be slow - can I use it as part of my home for Linux ? Or should I just put all my documents, photos there to free up space ?
Part of the problem is that on 20GB Ubuntu partition a) photos take lots of space but also I need space for applications etc.
What do people think ??
BTW the max RAM I can have is 1024MB
