Thinking about putting in a new hard drive
I'm thinking about putting in a new hard drive in my mac book. right now its 250 gb, i want a 750 gb hd. The hard drive I'm looking at is made by MCE Technologies. It spins at 5400 rpm. Its a SATA drive. I just wanted to know if anyone was familiar with this drive. I plan on running linux and I want to be able to partition with a lot of space.

Also can anyone recommend good RAM for MacBook? Right now I have 2gb, you can upgrade to 8gb, right?

I get all my memory and hardware from this site for mac at eshop macsales. Type eshop macsales in google. It should be the top link.

They have life time warranty on memory and sale nice harddrive and mac sure it matches your mac.
