[jonathanz]

hi
i've got a 20gb pc and i want
buy more gb
but when i type search on google
"more pc memory"
i get crappy stuff like those things that
you put in the usb port
what is the real word for pc
memory

My guess here is that you want to buy an hard drive, one of type IDE probably (as oppose to SATA which is a newer technology and probably won't fit on your computer).

but if
i get a new hard drive
wont then all of my saved memory
be gone with the old hard drive

how do i just upgrade it

You can add a second harddrive if you have room for it in your case, and available power port. It's pretty normal. I've run home PCs with up to 4 harddrives at a time. Usually the disks come with instructions if you buy a retail box. Either way you'll need to format and mount your drive afterwards. There are ways to get your old data onto the new disk and just use the new one but it may be a bit advanced if you have never fitted a disk before.
