IMHO, a 1/2 gig is enough as long as you delete the single frames after
having compiled them to a movie.
If you want to start making longer animations I recommend to burn them
on CD-ROM / RW ;-)
But if you really want to get a new hard disk I think the IBM DJNA
352030 (20,3 GB) offers the best GB/money value. In Germany it's about
348 DM.
BTW, did you ever think of overclocking your processor? I'm not sure at
which frequencies the Pentium II 266 MHz will work but take a look at
"Tom's Hardware Guide" http://www.sysdoc.pair.com/
There you'll find plenty of information about it.
