What kind of RAM should I get for my mid 2007, 13" Macbook?

I have a mid 2007 MacBook, 13", ", 2.16GHz. I have been looking for RAM for it but have a lot of options to choose from and want to choose the right type. Are there specific ones that work best for this MacBook? If so, what are they? And is there a place that has a specific list of RAM that's compatible? Thanks!

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

The Mid-2007 MacBook has two RAM slots, and uses 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM RAM modules. It can work with up to 3GB total.


Two reputable dealers for RAM are Crucial and Other World Computing.


This Apple article has instructions for how to remove and install memory.


Best of luck.

You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.

OWC tests have found that there is a slight speed increase with having two 2gb sticks in rather than one 1gb and one 2gb. Your model is in the gray lines at the bottom of the graph. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/
