is NOT a PC/Mac
There will be no problems with another HDD on your system as long as there are free SATA/PATA ports available and enough power is present to run the hardwares.

Your PC will support 500GB HDD.
And if u face noticeable differences in comp. speed ... Add another 1GB stick.

Ya... Thats fine...
If there are free SATA/PATA ports .. there will be no problem.

If 740GB is filled properly ... Then accessing the contents will be slow.
So for better experiences add another 1 GB RAM.

Are There Any Side Effects Of Creating Too Many Partations
I do not think anything will be slow, just like that.
There is something called management.
Your system performance will generally depend on primary drive on which OS is there or which is in use for playing games or watching movies.
which drives are in use i.e if you are doing data transfer.
In short no need to really worry.
Rest people ahve already said or asked like PSU wattage(400W good enough for running 4-5 HDDs also with the config you got, you have low power consuming config) and how much each HDD is filled. and no of availability of SATA/PATA ports
Check your power consumption from *www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp
I saw realdan has mentioned about partitions, Varad, partitions are for managing your HDD(not physically but logically), and yes more partitions would decrease performance

Even If I Add One More 1GB Stick. Then Also The Performance Will Decrese.
In Total Now I am Having C:/, D:/, E:/, F:/, G:/,H:/ All Are 40GB's. The Last Two Are Of My External HDD. Can You Tell Me Howmany Partitions Are Created Standerdly In 500GB. Iam Planning To Create The Partation 80GB Each. Insted Of 40GB. Of My Present HDD. So That There Will Not Be Too Many Partations. What Do You Think?
Thank You

Your PC will easily support it and there will be hardly a slowdown. I suggest that you better get a Western Digital Caviar 640GB instead of 500GB. It's the most VFM HDD right now.

Ya ....WD 640GB is the most VFM HDD.
But after having nearly full HDD's ... Accessing the contents will surely be slow.
Thats why I recommended to add another 1GB stick.
After that .... Performanc will be fine.

^^I didnt said have an objection with you recommanding 1GB of more RAM. More RAM is always better than having less RAM

Dont worry too much.
After adding 1GB RAM u wont be dissappointed.
Just take care of the partitions ... I mean dont make too many
2*1GB performs better than single 2GB stick.
So I think u get the point.

Get one more stick so that both runs in dual channel providing better performance. (Seeing that your mobo supports Dual-Channel, check your Mobo specs and tell us if it supports dual-channel or not ).
