2009 iMac Upgrades Question

[iJonWitham]

Hi there,

I have a late 2009 3.06GHz iMac that since i've upgraded to Lion has become rather sluggish.

Would it be possible to install 8GB of RAM into this iMac, or is 4GB the limit ? ( currently on 2gb)

Also, I wanted to replace the hard drive from a 500GB to a 1/2tb hdd. Can I pickup any regular 3.5inch sata hdd ? Or is it brand/model specific ?

Thank you.
