By far the best way is to spend £50 on a 7200rpm 500gb 2.5" SATA hard drive, like the western digital Scorpio black. You can back up your data using time machine, swap to the new drive, install 10.6 then use the migration assistant to restore from the time machine backup.
The machine will be faster and have 4 times the space.
