Mac Forum / Country Specific / Australian Mac Group / October 2008RAM injection for my MacBook
I must apologise here, for I'm certain this is a real dummie question, but ... I bit the white bullet and bought a 1yr old MacBook. It's in nice condition, but carries a feeble 512MB of RAM, which is OK for Tiger, but I suspect the Leopard will gobble that up in a flash. And the machine didn't come with any sort of hardware manual. So: Is MacBook RAM in slots? To upgrade to 1gb RAM, do I buy another 512 stick? Or is that slot system ancient history, and I need to throw away what I've got and buy a 1gb? In which case I might as well go for 2GB, yes? <cringe> Emma > I must apologise here, for I'm certain this is a real dummie question, > but ...

From a quick look it looks like you can just add a DIMM to bring it up to 1 Gb, or if you like you can take it up to 2 Gb with two new DIMMs. The memory access panel should be in the battery bay.

Thanks Anthony, I've done some learning in the interim, and discovered I have 2 x 256 on board, which suggests a 'late 2006' model. MacBook 1,1 as the profiler says. Many thanks for the link; I had no idea Apple were so informative about their older models. All the best Emma > > > I must apologise here, for I'm certain this is a real dummie question, > > > but ... [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > > Emma You're welcome. Now you have the information you need to make your decision. Of course when it comes to memory, more is almost always better.
