    :idea: Hey Guys I am a MAC lover but I am tired of paying all that money for a mac so I am going the hacktonish route...
    I recently one a NEW AAO ZG8 from my employer and I am itching at tearing it apart and upgrading the Hard Drive.

    Currently My AAO has the Following

    Model ZG8
    Atom N270
    1 GB RAM WANT TO install 2 GB
    160GB HD WANT TO install 500 GB HD
    and has the ATT 3G card installed (is there a NATIVE OS X driver for it)

    The memory looks easy just remove the door and bang 2 GIG MAX ( What brand and speed do you guys use and recommend so I can max this baby out to 2 GIG)
    and I know if I want the wifi to work right with OS X I have to replace the wifi card with a Dell 1380 ( BEEN READING THIS BOARD ALOT)

    I want to replace the HD with a 500 gig I am plan on dual booting Windows 7 and OS X and maybe linux
    I am a very GEEKY person but I have looked every where for a upgrade DYI on the Hard drive
    Can someone point me to a site with disassembly instructions I have seen alot for other models but not mine (A0531h ZG8)

    Thanks again I am looking forward to being a contributing member of this board
