You need 400 MHz 184pin PC3200 DDR SDRAM. Your Mac can support 8GB RAM.
Here is a website with some offers: http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upg...3&type=Memory&TI=3810&shoupgrds=Show+Upgrades

cool cool, and the harddrive is just a standard SATA connection one?

Yep, standard SATA.

RAM is supposed to be in pairs iirc. PC3200 RAM is cheap (~$40), get as much as you can afford, because it probably won't stay cheap.
