Upgrading a PowerBook G4

Doing this was actually fun and I got a better computer out of it.  First off was upgrading the RAM in this puppy, from 768 mb to 2 gb.  I bought 2 x 1 gb DDR for around $60, and received it about a week later.  This part was super easy and took no time at all to put in.  This is a great video demonstration on how to do it.  (skip the first minute) Thanks to OWCmacsales for the video.

The next part was the tricky part but once I had it done I realized it actually wasn't too difficult.  The original hard drive in this computer was only 60 gb (sad huh?).  So I decided I wanted to install a larger hard drive.  I bought the hard drive for around $80 and had it in my hands within a few days.  I found a video with good instructions on how to install it (watched it a few times through to make sure I wasn't going to miss something) and off I went.  About half an hour later I had my computer put back together and turned on... not that it was going to turn on to anything.  The hard part was figuring out how to reinstall Mac OS X on it (see here).  Here was the instructional video I watched to replace my hard drive.  Thanks again to OWCmacsales for the video.
