should be trivial to replace the original hdd with a sdcard or ssd, this makes any machine run much nicer, old or new.

Interesting, I've never thought of that...for that matter, I didn't even know you could do such a thing. I might just try it out sometime.

Oh, and as for your mention of that 1440x1050 resolution before...it turns out that the T43 model that came out shortly after the one I own did, in fact, have such a resolution. So you had almost guessed right!

almost.

anyway, it's pretty much "if a hdd interface exists, then an adapter board to msata or sd card exists too". even those crazy old proprietary macs have them available, though they are not exactly cheap. but old ide interfaces are ok (even the more obscure ones like zif), couple of bucks and you are sailing. no more crunching noises and potential failures (wouldn't trust a two decade old mechanical drive too much).
