Hello,
I have a few questions:
-Is the max 8gb of ram and what would you recommend brand-wise?
-What is a great and cheap 1tb hard drive that will fit in this computer?
-What is the boot rom needed to ensure 8gb of ram will fit correctly?

1. Yes, 8 GBs is the maximum. I would suggest purchasing from:
2. Toshiba and Hitachi make a 1 TB notebook drive that will fit.
3. The Boot ROM really has nothing to do with it. Buy the right product, and it should work.
| Maximum Memory | 8.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple) |
|---|---|
| Memory Slots | 2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM |

I have read an OWC article that states that an updated boot room is used for 8gbs of ram. I have bestbuy giftcards to use up, so do you think that there are cheap hard drives that fit?
