MacBook RAM Upgrade 1GB to 4GB

Not only seconds are saved at boot up, my system is a whole lot more responsive now! I can have multiple tabs open in safari and my fan does not kick in and start making loads of noise (which was a problem I was trying to solve!)

Got more questions about this upgrade? Ask me in the comments or get in touch in the following places below.

Very nice...

I'm looking to upgrade my MacBook's memory pretty soon - it's gotten to be really slow, to the point where I get the SBOD pretty much whenever I click on something while multitasking. Not good when I usually have somewhere over 20 tabs open in Safari, plus Photoshop, iTunes, Mail, and everything else, haha.

So, when did you get your MacBook? Mine's a late 2007, right after Leopard was introduced, with a 2.2ghz Core 2 Duo, and 1GB of RAM.

Now, off to test my boot-up speed!

Hi cherrybomb

I think mine is late 2007 too. Running 2Ghz core duo (came running Leopard originally but now upgraded to Snow Leopard)

I can still recommend you to upgrade to 4GB, I still find my Mac very stable and much more useable since I upgraded in August and I have not seen any slow down. If you can afford to upgrade the RAM it will be a great investment.

Let me know how it goes :)

Great this is just what I wanted to see. Well worth the upgrade. I wonder if Motion would run on it with 4GB of mem.

[lukeb3000]

What are you running now? (RAM wise) 4GB of RAM certainly will help.

If I have noticed one thing apps like photoshop and iMove run a lot more smoothly and tend to be less glitch. Let me know if you decided to upgrade and how you find it :)

lol im not sure hwy i just watched through this one oh dear, im tired. but dont get me wrong i mean i am pleased for you!

[lukeb3000]

lol thank you, if you get the chance you should upgrade your RAM too iMove HD is behaving its self a lot more now. Importing clips is alot faster!!!

How much RAM are you running at the moment?

So adding ram to a laptop = super geek?

Man when you learn how to clean the fan you must fancy yourself a god

i have 2G ram and a late 2007-2008 model macbook pro, i consistently only have maybe imovie, skype, safari (5 tabs open) and itunes running and literally have like 15 MB of free ram left during that time. for the movie/graphic work that i do what would be the best ram type to get upgraded? or is it the processor? (2.26 GHz intel core duo) please respond.

@MrApplehelper Go to crucial.c0m and go to "Memory (RAM)" at the top, then click on scan my system.

[MrApplehelper]

how do i find out which type of ram i need?

@jehdesai change the ram like jehdesai said, 1+1 or 2+2 or 0.5+0.5 never different ones together same as pc :)

your laptop seem to have a lot of issues to boot up. it has nothing to do with your ram but the cache. I have a 2Go and its a lot quicker than your 4Go because I clear all the cache... use Onyx its free and its great at cleaning stuff at the back that your not always aware of :)
