Thank you for all of the info. My Macbook only has an 80g HD and I was trying to download season 12 of TopGear on iTunes. Those Top Gear Espisodes are about 650 megs each.
How expensive would it be to upgrade the HD in my Macbook? Is it something I can do myself? If not, where should I go to get it done?
Thank you.

Replacing the hard drive is quite easy. Pop out your battery. Remove the L bracket (few screws). Pull hard drive out. Undo 4 screws, take off cover. Reinstall cover. Reverse.
There is an actual bulletin from Apple on how to do this at home. If you can tighten/loosen a screw, you can do this.

Easy as one two three. Make sure you have all the applications you need and operating system to reinstall on your new HD.
