Hi, So i'm going to buy my new (first mac) mpb next week, or even tomorrow. However it is going to come with the slow 320gb hard drive.

I would like to put the momentus XT in the mpb before I even turn it on (is this a good idea?). So I dont install things and then have to reinstall them.

So does anyone know where I can get it? Or when it will be in stock?

I've been having a look around for this drive myself, however every site I've been on is out of stock.
 
Does changing the drive void your warranty? Even if it doesn't, maybe it's a good idea to run the computer for a couple weeks as is in case there are problems. Really, installing programs isn't very difficult.

It doesn't void the warranty.

Yeh, that actually seems a good idea as there is a lot of problems going about.
I am I right to assume that installing a lot of applications isn't as slow a annoying like on a windows pc?
I'm just being a bit lazy.

Thanks
