[QUOTE="ann475, post: 1186671, member: 192371"] [b]how about this[/b] Have been reading more. Is the following possible/advised. I have new hd, new memory, and copy of snow leopard. Can I in this order: 1.Change 512 memory modules for new 1024 modules. (online videos; looks fairly simple) 2. Remove the old hard drive. (online videos; looks fairly simple) 3. Install the new hard drive that is totally clean/blank. (online videos; looks fairly simple) 4. Install the snow leopard directly to the new hd. Apparently after I format and partition new hd. (online videos and instructions; just follow the prompts?) 5. Plug the old hard drive into the usb enclosure that comes with the hd upgrade kit and then migrate any desired data, applications, etc. directly from old hd to new hard drive. If this is possible should I use the "migration assistant" some posts talk about to do this or is there a recommended program for doing a migration. Not sure from some posts whether I can or even should migrate applications. Don't have that many but still looking for original install disks. Thanks again for the help. [/QUOTE]
