I would greatly appreciate getting suggestion / recommendation on how to upgrade my PC. Present system is an early 1996 Micron Millenia that has small hd that is compressed with Mijenix Freespace. Micron Support is not much help unless I buy components from them. They have been uncooperative and had made me uninstall all upgrades (Ram, video card, and modem) that I installed myself. This system frequently crashes or freezes. Norton Utilities doesn't help much, except keeps it running again after reboot.

I like to do the following upgrade:

Add another hd - but don't know which one would be compatible.
Change the BIOS - because the one that still on it is very unstable.
Change the processor?
New cables and other connectors?

Name of reliable hardware vendor with reasonable prices would also be helpful to econmize upgrade cost.
