I'm thinking of jumping on a new MacBook soon. Does anyone have any suggestions about where to purchase quality RAM and HD replacements at competitive prices?
(Note the picture of an ATA drive, but you get a SATA drive).
I have always bought RamJET ram through www.ramjet.com and have been satified. It isn't the cheapest, but it isn't the most expensive. I have never had any problem with it.
oempcworld.com (can exchange the ram you remove for credit)
and lots of other places.
you might search using ramseeker.com or dealram.com
Drive:
Whatever you do, make sure you get the version of teh drive that can be powered down by the computer. Hitachi makes two versions of teh drive. One for servers - it CANNOT be powered down. And one for laptops that can be powered down by the OS.
That's where I bought my 120 gig Seagate 5400rpm HD and it came across the states via UPS just in time!! ewiz has a variety of shipping options. I chose the 3 day just because i wanted my HD in time when i got my MacBook. The HD works great too!!! VERY quiet.
I highly recommend ewiz for a nice, quiet, big HD, and Seagate is the brand to go for!
I'll be buying more RAM in the next few months. But for now, 512 is fine for my needs.

From the sounds of it, sounds like the Toshiba 100 gig 7200 is the way to go and what I might get. I've never had a problem with bargain RAM. YMMV.
