I upgraded my 2009 MacBook Pro and it gave the laptop a new lease of life. I bought everything from Crucial and it didn't take long to fit everything at all. There's lot of instructions like these. The Crucial HD came with the tools which I bought separately (not knowing it came with them) and didn't use.
It really depends on how much you want to spend and how much you use it? For me, the price was more than worthwhile, as it's now really useable and nippy.

Is that possible on something as old as my mac?
As it stands now, it's slow to start up and struggles with multiple windows being open if they are acccessing big files. I had the battery replaced at apple a few years ago as that did the bulging trick, and in the last little bit, battery life has been getting worse again. Not sure if spending more money on it is the answer or whether to cut my losses and start afresh. I can't really complain as it's lasted way longer than the equivilent PC would have done at the time.
Thanks for the tips @chrisbmx116 Your macbook sounds like something that would be suitable but I'm in Canada so location along with the exchange rate might be against us!
