[refuse2bstopped]

Dude in the last post calls her "geek girl" and she does look geek, but definitely cute. I'd date the geek girl. lol Yeah, I know, off the subject but just wanted to address the mean comment with a nice one. ;-)

[XxMEVANSxX]

Geek Girl o.O

[VampireBeast21]

This was very helpful. Thank you for being very descriptive and articulate.

[KelipejoHimoqi]

Take your chance and win macbook air. Check out macbook7 . c0m!

[ZAMTRON]

does it matter what kind of ram you buy or will any kind work for my macbook

[kaykan0]

you did one big mistake touching the conecting pin of the rams

[impossibleprincess06]

Thanks very much for uploading this. I've always been too scared to upgrade my own ram, but you make it look very simple.

[helpfulVidz]

hey what type of ram is that need some for mine. mine is 512mbs LMAO

[beachbumdalt]

Hi Candice i have a late 2006 macbook its white i need more ram do you know where your brother got the ram for yours?

[TheMacintosh1]

I believe Amazon, but Newegg, and Crucial are great places to get it too.

[TechGangster]

Lmao Ram has to be one of the geekiest things you could get for Christmas i laughed soo hard when i heard that :P nice video!

[R4D1CALx]

hey candice where didcha get the screwdrivers in this vid?

[TheMacintosh1]

I think Target.

[gricka31]

those scissors probably arn't big enough to ground you. touching a radiator pipe works better.

[TheMacNoob]

It isn't wise to wear a sweatshirt when you mess with computer parts because they rub against your shirt and then it creates static and you don't even notice

[GInterfacingSoftware]

only if the computer is plugged in and/or powerd on.

[dannybs09]

hi great review

[Ozzy0sbourne]

merry fucking christmas.

fuck the term "the holidays"

[mac550]

yeah you do need to touch metal before touching electronics but you must touch something metal that it grounded, not just any metal like you did because you don't discharge yourself properly, but otherwise, cool videos

[khaledacmilan]

Congratulation!,thank you for your video too.

Good luck!

[Carlitos11286]

Hey Candice cool video:) Just wondered what time of RAM you are using there? Thinking of upgrading my MacBook too:)

[pintybhatt]

This was cool.. I wanna upgrade my macbbok to 4 gigs too.

[giantsnys]

hey Candice doesnt the black macbook comes with 4 of gb raam not 2 GB???? by the way happy holidays and awesome vids!

[TheMacintosh1]

When I purchase the mac last year, the black macbook came with 1gb of ram.

[giantsnys]

well thats a rip anyway thanks for the reply and keep up the vids:)

[MAMW93]

What I am about to say is a public service announcement to everyone. What really determines how much RAM you can use isn't your processor, it's your OS. Almost all processors now support 64-bit OS's which is what you need to utilize 4gb of RAM and above. All versions of OS 10 are 64-bit so you can install up to 128gb of RAM and it will all be used. But just because your OS will support a ton of RAM doesn't mean your motherboard will. Also you applied to much uneven pressure to the RAM.

Alex.

[carldabull]

@MAMW93 is it safe to install 4gb of ram?

[MAMW93]

@carldabull oh ya its safe. :)

[darkside97]

yea your right these macbooks only support 3GB ram.

[WCCobra]

wow, Apple sure makes it harder to upgrade memory than most other companies

[Frankfurtxxl]

true

[Ddubb925]

wow your really careful with your mac.. i practically throw mine compared to you.

[familyguylover1]

umm i have a couple of things to say, one is that all your videos rock , two should i let apple put in my 4gb ram or should i just buy it and do it home by my self , three have a safe holiday :)

[TheMacintosh1]

I think its cheaper to upgrade the Ram yourself, happy holidays to you too!

[KrazyKoyk]

Im thinking of getting the New Macbook 2.4Ghz , 320GB HD but im debating on the 2GB Ram or 4GB. Do you think its worth getting it done by Apple in my order , Or waiting and getting it upgraded at a later date?

[TheMacintosh1]

I strongly suggest you order the ram yourself and installing without Apple. They usually way over charge for ram upgrades.

[keyblademaster235]

quick question, one day i took out my macbook battery and i put it back in and when i turn the coin latch thing back it broke off, my battery is locked in so thats good but im wondering if this is covered under warrenty

[TheMacintosh1]

I think it won't be covered by the warranty due to the fact that it was self inflicted, but always always double check with Apple.

[spintopbikes]

thanx i going to upgrade my mac book when i get it to 3 gb and this helped alot :)

[dvp8196]

wow u have a great brother.

[TheMacintosh1]

I think so.

[an80sGuy]

Yeah thats a good upgrade. Your MacBook's chipset should be able to utilize about 3.3 gigs of memory. So you'll be using most of the 4 gig. Also with the matched pairs, you'll be running dual channel for additional for additional speed. It will be noticeable faster.

[vaio1634]

cool, i bet it's alot faster now :)

[johnthecarman]

Cool! Enjoy your new RAM! Happy Christmas!

[themacbookexpert]

cool

[MagicHandedAlex]

That's certainly a more practical way of changing ram than alot of the HP and dell notebooks.

oh, and happy holidays :D

[WillThePlank]

Grats on the memory and merry christmas

btw you didn't actually ground yourself and you could of still caused damage to your mac book as the scissors you touched were not attached to earth so the electricity didn't go anywhere.

the best way to do it is touch a cold water pipe as they have a wire on them that takes any charge out of your body straight to earth.

Will

[TheMacintosh1]

Thanks for the info, I'll remember it for next time.

[an80sGuy]

Yeah but the chances of actually damaging equipment with static electricity is so slim. First with a MacBook like this, she wasn't touching any of the electronics inside the MB. She was simply inserting the RAM sticks into the slots. Similar to the way you would insert a CD into the CD-ROM slot. Just avoid rubbing your stocking feet on carpeting before doing it, and everything should be fine.

[djneo92nl]

"A ram upgrade is a very easy way of making your system faster"

But you had to touch something grounded.

and i think you don't need to do that inside of a laptop.

[WillThePlank]

You should always ground yourself when working with sensitive electronic equipment especially in computers laptop or otherwise, the best way to do it is touch a cold water pipe as they have a wire on them that takes any charge out of your body straight to earth.

[CompHelperKid]

Great video Candice!

[stevechesney]

Thanks Candice. Happy holidays. Enjoy the 4 gigs of ram. I upgraded to 4 gigs in my iMac and love the performance.

[dragonballjiujitsu]

[biohazardx]

[iTalkApple]

[Imactherforeiam]

Merry christmas, enjoy the new ram

[sonyboy97]

P.S. I cracked my mac's screen ):

[TheMacintosh1]

that stinks, merry christmas to you too

[JCash233]

Merry Christmas

[SnowLeopard2008]

aww, you missed the fun of having 3GB ram! :D

[Imactherforeiam]

Nice upgrade. I love having 4gb of ram. its really fast

[All0ut]

Would you say its worth it to upgrade from 2GB of RAM? Just wondering if it makes that big of a difference from 2gb

[TheMacintosh1]

I actually don't really know. I've only really used 1gb for the longest time, and its a great great difference.

[Andriiva]

Thanks for your help! I really wanted to upgrade my Macbook's ram but just couldn't find a good video form the how-to. So thanks again, you did a great job (as usual! :) ).

[AppleFan0808]

What are the specs of your macbook?

[TheMacintosh1]

Black Macbook (Mid 2007)

2.16 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo

4gb of Ram

160gb HD

[AppleFan0808]

Ok cool. My MacBook has the same specs, so please let me know if it's worth upgrading the ram from 2gb to 4.

Merry Xmas

[diond408]

:Si dont like the 2.16GHz one but im cool with my 2.2 Ghz 2GB 250GB cause i didnt pay a cent.
