I put a 7200rpm HD in my 466mhz Clamshell and maxed the memory with a
512mb which made it 576mb and it was a major improvement, it runs Tiger pretty
good!!! I would go for the Solid State if I were you because I heard it runs
faster then the 7200rpm? The HD is pretty much the last thing to get to when
taking it apart, get a repair manual for it before you do it, you can download
one for free online just do a search for it. There are a few tricks you need to
know when taking it apart or you could crack some parts trying without it,
there is also a special tool you need to get for it too it's made of plastic...
