Your machine uses a Serial ATA standard 2.5" hard drive. The largest drive I found that would work for you is 640 GB: http://www.ifixit.com/Apple-Parts/640-GB...

Here's an excellent tutorial on how to replace it: http://soledadpenades.com/2007/11/01/diy...

I just discovered this and thought it might be of interest: CPU can be replaced with a faster "Socket M"/"Socket M" Core Duo or Core 2 Duo

Very nice guide. + Ralph

Now that 1TB HDs with 9mm height are available, you can also upgrade the internal HD to 1 Terabyte. I just finished it and it works fine :)
