Our Seagate Barracuda 1TB drive is a 3Gb/s SATA drive and will work well with systems that support these kind of drives. You would want to verify that your 2002 Insignia computer accepts this kind of data interface first by contacting the computer manufacturer. Unfortunately we would not have this information here.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Maybe an Hard Drive with IDE Interface, unless it have a SATA already. A 250GB or 320GB would be best. As for the Memory, maybe 1GB upgradeable with PC133 sdram Memory.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This might be a little tough. Any drive should work.....as long as you have the correct plugs/wiring for it. There are adapters for the power...molex to sata. The only difficulty would be having a sata port on the motherboard of your computer. There are aftermarket boards that would plug directly into the PCI slot on you mobo and then you could plug the drive into that. It can be tricky, but it can be done. Hopefully your motherboard is one of the early ones that has both the IDE and sata ports on it. Best of luck to you.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi! My Compaq Presario (made in 2002) that my BIOS will recognize is 500GB using WIndows XP Pro. You will likely need a PATA Hard Drive 500GB(maximum data storage size) 7200rpm 16MB cache (buffer). Doubt you will be able to use 1TB with such an old computer. I would suggest purchasing a new PC (About $700 or Greater) to see an Significant Improvement of performance. It would be worthwhile investment when you can afford to do so. Note: SATA is not the same as PATA .. they are not compatible or interchangeable due to interface (connection).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hard drive - you need to look for PATA (parallel ATA with the flat ribbon cables) unless you can find the smaller SATA socket. Check to find out what the maximum size hard drive your motherboard can support. Memory - you need to match the memory speed/channel type with what is supported by the motherboard. Most likely PC 2100 or above. Consult the manufacturer web site. If you have empty DIMM slots get the largest size supported by the motherboard, perhaps 512 MB or 1 GB. If the slots are full, remove the smallest of the existing DIMMS.
