Hi Guys,
I have a late 2009 white unibody macbook (2.26 core 2 duo, 2GB DDR3, 250 GB) and am in the process of upgrading my RAM. The tech spec section of the website kinda confuses me ; it says upgradable upto 4GB...
My question is is 4GB the maximum upgradable memory ( which means 2GBx2 ) or is it 8GB ( 4GBx2 ) ...??
Also, please share your reviews for Corsair memory modules ; that's the brand I'd be buying ...
Cheers,
Gaggy ...
MacBook (13-inch Late 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.8)
max ram is 8gb. Don't use Corsair so I can't give an opinion.
Hi
Corsair RAM is ok, but I tend to buy either Crucial, or Samsung, as that's what's been fitted to my Macs when I got them.
I also usually buy via online retailers, rather than direct, as costs can be cheaper.
These are good online stores for Mac compatible RAM
OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_Whi te- They offer Mac tested RAM at very good prices.
Crucial Memory http://www.crucial.com/ - good place to buy RAM from all over the world. They also have an excellent memory selector that allows you to choose memory based on your computer's model
Data Memory Systems http://www.datamemorysystems.com/apple-memory.asp - another good, cheap place to buying RAM if you live in the U.S.
Here are video instructions on replacing the RAM on the White Unibody.

If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5.
