I'd like to be able to run fusion on it which would mean a bigger harddrive and more ram; so i keep putting off the hard drive hoping for a windfall that would let me replace this one. thanks again, Max On Jun 1, 2010, at 7:13 PM, Cameron wrote: > Hi. you can buy a replacement hard drive and install it quite easily. > Depending on the speed and capacity of the drive, you could get one > for less > than $50 US. > > Cameron. > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Maxwell Ivey Jr. > Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 8:07 PM > To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: A couple Macbook questions, out of curiosity > > sorry, I don't know about the pricing.
