Alright I have a current rev Mini 1.83ghz, and want to upgrade the stock 80gb HD, wondering if this drive will work

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136278

I want the 7200RPM, but wasn't sure 3.0GB would work on the intel controller, thinking it may only support 1.5GB

also, when I reinstall leopard, does it allow me to format the drive to HFS+ or how would I do this?

Thanks,

it's 2.5 and it's sata. it should work.

when you put in a leopard disc and boot from it, there is the program "disk utility" on the disc. from there, you can partition, format, erase the hard drive to your heart's content.

in terms of RAM upgrade. it will only see 3gb, even if you put in 4gb
