Upgrading RAM, MacBook2,1
Hi People,
This is my first time using the support communities, and subsequently, I don't know if I've placed my question in the right area.
Anyway, recently I was given a late 2006 white MacBook (identifier MacBook2,1) by a friend. It currently has 1gb ram. I have a spare 1gb and 2gb stick (ddr2) lying around and I was wondering if I could install them in the macbook to make 3gb ram without major issues. They are different brands - would this be a problem?
This is what I found on http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/faq/macbook-how-to-upgrade-ram.htm l
Apple officially supports a maximum of 2 GB of RAM in the original (Core Duo), "Late 2006" and "Mid-2007" MacBook models.
However, third-parties have discovered that the "Late 2006" and "Mid-2007" MacBook models -- both of which are equipped with a Core 2 Duo processor -- will work with 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM. Due to chipset limitations -- the same limitations that apply to the "Late 2006" MacBook Pro systems -- these models can hold 4 GB of RAM but cannot fully utilize the memory beyond 3 GB due to the possibility of memory "overlap".
Sorry if I posted this in the incorrect forum, I'm just a newbie 😝
