Okay yeah make sure you grab Octomac's guide over at http://octomac.com/tech/iMacHD/iMacHDUpgrade.html because I don't really go into as much detail here. Just wanted to put this out there to help and share. Also finally found out why my videos from iMovie '09 weren't turning up HD. iMovie doesn't output real HD by default anymore! Sigh... the price we pay to have a few Final Cut features I guess. :/
