[QUOTE="6string, post: 1142466, member: 120039"] I don't know what issue of the HD you are talking about. Main thing to look for is that it boots properly, that the disk drive works, trackpad and all the keys are working properly, and that there is no water damage. If it is a friend's Macbook, then he should be forthright about it's history. Since it is 4 1/2yrs old, the HD could be good, or could be on it's last legs, but HDs are that cheap now it's not an issue. As far as you swapping out the RAM, as long as it's 200 pin PC2-5300 DDR2 SO-DIMM you should be fine there too, unless it's dodgy RAM. [/QUOTE]
