[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 717994, member: 38928"] I think I'm right in saying that the 2.16ghz Macbook has a physical 4gb limit but will only use a max of 3gb - happy to be corrected Any 2.5" 9mm high SATA HDD drive will fit. If you have a 2.5" SATA enclosure or a USB to SATA adaptor you can use something like Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your existing disc. Swap the drives over and the Mac will boot. You can even boot from the external drive first to be sure the clone has worked OK. I have a 2.16 MB that I've upgraded to 2gb RAM and a 250GB HDD [/QUOTE]
