I have a mackbook OSX yosemite version 10.10.1 purchased in 2008. Processor 2Gh, intel core 2duo, Memory 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
I want to upgrade it to Memory RAM 8GB and more hard drive space. Can this computer be upgraded?
MacBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), window PC
Yes, you can do both of those upgrades. Go to crucial.com & download their memory scanner tool; it will show you your upgrade options. They may show that you can only go up to 4GB of RAM but you can go to 8GB. Purchase RAM from crucial.com or OWC (macsales.com). You can purchase whatever hard drive you wish, but would be better off buying one from OWC also as they specialize in Mac products.
Do you have your data backed up via Time Machine? If so, you should be able to simply install the new hard drive & restore from a backup.
You can get instructions for replacing these things at ifixit.com.

I'm using same MacBook with 8GB RAM(two 4GB PC3-8500 DDR3 1066MHz SO-DIMMs) and 250GB HDD(planning to replace with SSD) as sub machine.
