my dell computer has very little memory left ...80 Gb when new in 2005..but only 8% capacity left...i am told that there is an extra slot for an additional hard drive but i'm not sure if this is better from a convenience and cost points of view than simply buying an external hard drive ...can anyone give me some advice please?...thank you
