Hi all, I'm new.

I'm looking to upgrade my Powerbook 1.5g 12 inch. For memory, I'm hearing go to crucial. I'll pick up a gig stick to bring the machine to 1.25gigs of RAM.

For hard drives, I went to ifixit.com. They had some decent drives, but the ones I was interested in were out of stock. I then went to newegg.com and narrowed it down to these three drives:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ubCategory=380

My questions are: Is Crucial the RAM to go with? Good prices? And will I see a bigger boost in speed if I go with a faster drive (i.e. 7200 rpm, 100gb) or a bigger drive (5400rpm, 160gb).

Thanks!
