Macbook late 2008 13" RAM upgrade?
So I have this old Macbook from 2008 called "Macbook Ultimo 2008".
The Macbook is not a pro model and the only aluminium from 2008.
Here's a guide on how to upgrade the RAM on my Mac from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1651#link2 .
Officially this Macbook was released with a maximum RAM capacity of 4GB in 2 slots. A new firmware update made it possible to upgrade all the way up to 8GB of memory. Article: http://blog.macsales.com/9102-secret-fir...ks-use-8gb .
Now i really want to know if i can just upgrade only 1 slot with a 4GB RAM card and keep one of my old RAM cards in there. This will let me have 6GB of memory.
I just don't know if the RAM are going to work together and if I have to upgrade to 8GB instead.
Yes, i could upgrade to only 4GB of memory but since i can upgrade all the way up to 8GB, I think I'm going to make it a bit faster than just 4GB. 🙂
The RAM I've looked at: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl...l7&act=url
Official memory card specifications:
"- Double Data Rate Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (DDR SO-DIMM) format
- 30mm
- 1 GB or 2 GB (Now up to 4GB)
- 204-pin
- PC3-8500 DDR3 1066 MHz Type RAM".
I'm not wanting to spend more than $60 on this!
Thanks for the help. 🙂
