Is there a hard-drive limit on a 2 yr old Macbook?

My friend found some good deals on Macbook compatible internal hard-drives that are 320gb, and I was looking to upgrade from my 80gb current setup.

However, my Macbook is about 2.5 years old, and I remember something at the time that the maximum hard-drive space was 120gb.

Was that just the availability back then, or is that a set hardware limit? Would the 320gb work on mine, or is it only good for the newer Macbooks?

Cheers.

Update:

The computer needs a 2.5" SATA drive. I was looking at something like this:

    If it fits and you can take the time to copy everything over from your old macbook, then it should work. I don't know how worth while and how cost effective it would be to get a 320 GB laptop hard drive. I would check the fit out before you buy it!

    You have to verify if you need a sata hard drive or an ide one.

    no problems of capacity with sata hard drive more difficult to find high capacity ide drives
