Replace the ram with 8gb and hard drive with a 7200rpm, hybrid xt, or ssd... The whole thing will take less than 15 mins.

You will need a sata dock or enclosure to mount your old drive, use carbon copy cloner to clone the drive. You can clone before or after, doesn't matter since macs can boot from USB.

Woah thanks .. Is there any way to do this without an enclosure? All the enclosures that there are require you to format the HD first. Since it is SATA, I guess I could just plug it into my PC and format it for mac? Would that work, because in the past drives I use on my PC haven't even loaded on my MAC since they both format differently
