1 TB External HDD comaptibility issue with Core 2 Duo

[W7U]

I heard that if one is using core duo or core 2 duo series processors (or not using the new Core i 3/5 etc processors) an external HDD of 1 TB or above might not work properly? I mean they say it would be slow or it might not be compatible etc etc.

So, in short, I am using Windows 7 ultimate, 2 gb or RAM, 2 + 2 gigs of core 2 duo processor on hp dv 6500 special edition and I am planning to buy WD My Passport Essential SE (1 TB), so would have I any issues or would it be ok? Or may be I should just buy the My Passport Essential(500 GB)?

Thanks in advance.

As long as it is a USB 2 drive it should work fine.

I have a Core 2 Duo myself and already used a 1TB plugged externally before... ahem.
Like Steeve said, as long as you use USB 2.0, it will work fine.

Yes, they all are USB 2.0, here's the link. Portable Overview

So i guess i shouldnt worry about some self-proclaimed computer geeks
