What is the feasibility of upgrading my Mid-2007 MacBook?
I have an aging Mid-2007 MacBook, all stock.
1GB 667MHz DDR2 RAM
120GB 5400RPM Hard Drive
2.16GHz Core 2 Duo
Intel GMA 950 [yucky] integrated graphics card.
A battery life that went from 4 hours to 15 minutes
I wonder if it is feasible to upgrade the components of my aging MacBook, or if I should 'retire' it (Probably use it as a server or give it to my mom) and go buy a new laptop on Newegg. I kind of wanted to retire it when I go out to college in a year and a half, but I'll be interning at SwRI so scurrying around for a power outlet won't cut it anymore.
So far, to upgrade to:
4GB RAM - $100
320GB Hard Drive - $70
New Battery - $50(Shady generic 3rd party batteries)-$120(Official Apple replacement battery)
I am looking at $220 to $290

The upgrade is completely feasible.
It seems like you've already done your research and found good prices / components.
I always go with 3rd party battery replacements. But do some googling and make sure the 3rd party is not too shady. There are a lot of laptop battery dealers with good reputations and cheap prices.
