Thank you to everyone who replied to my query. I have been planning this upgrade for some time now and I was really put off when the "Mac" guy (only two months worth of familiarity) at the campus computer store told me it wasn't possible to do a processor upgrade on Macs. "You'll have to buy a new computer" he said.
I went ahead and gave him the machine to do the hard drive upgrade. We talked for awhile and it seemed he had been on the Apple website since I had talked to him on the phone and at least understood that I'd probably need a controller if I were putting in a faster HD. I didn't get much more technical with him than that. I think the ZIF upgrade will have to be done by someone else. I don't doubt this guy could plug the thing in. I just don't think he understands how it interacts with the system as a whole (neither do I). Thanks again for all the good advice pointing me in the right direction. A.
