For your reference I used the 4GB RAM Upgrade Kit from Crucial, and a spare 320GB Seagate Momentus 5400rpm HDD.

The HDD will be used as a temporary solution until I install a 7200rpm 500GB Seagate drive.

If your wondering how I cloned my existing 160GB OEM drive – it was done using a free version of SuperDuper.

You can download it from their website – it is an awesome application.
