Hi I was wondering what kind and how much RAM would cost for the original 2006 Macbook Pro computer. Right now I have 2 sticks of 1 GB, I was wondering if I wanted to go up to 4 GB how much that would cost, and where/what I can get it.
Thanks,
Mac Book Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.2), 17"
If you have the original MacBook Pro, 2 gB of RAM is the max. To confirm your model, click the Apple in the left corner and select "About this Mac, then "More Info" what is the model identifier?

Sorry, 2gB is your maximum RAM.

If you have the Core Duo model, then you can install a maximum of 2 GBs. If you have a Core 2 Duo model then you can install 4 GBs of which only 3 GBs will be usable.
Open System Profiler in your Utilities folder. Note the Model Identifier. If it shows "1,2" then you have a Core Duo. If it says "2,1" then it's a Core 2 Duo model. The latter were released in October 2006.
Both models use 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM. You can purchase RAM many places. I recommend DataMem and OWC.
