FroznBeavrBALLs Posted April 20, 2012 Report Posted April 20, 2012 I have the white MacBook unibody style macbook. And i have the original 2g of RAM and it's becoming too small. I want an upgrade but im not sure how to go about doing that... I found a site online that sells the sticks of RAM that is compatible with my laptop. But does that mean if i buy it do I have to install it? Is that a simple process? Or should I spend more money and take it to Apple to do it?

Sketchup Posted April 20, 2012 Report Posted April 20, 2012 My dad had a macbook pro, he just ordered the new ram and went to a apple store and had them do it. I say just let them do it just to be on the safe side cuz you dont want to screw up on them, expensive mistake.

FroznBeavrBALLs Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Posted April 20, 2012 so should I buy RAM and bring it to them? or let them install whatever they have? because im sure they use a certain brand/type and whatnot that they normally use. Im sure this one I found would be compatible but probably wont be under Apple warranty even if they do install it... BUT its most likely cheaper. lol Quote 2 DC 12" lvl 4s 1 DC 1.2k XS Power S3400 big 3 Alll KNU wire Pioneer HU cheapo Legacy coaxes (just for now) http://www.stevemead...n-sentra-build/
Sketchup Posted April 20, 2012 Report Posted April 20, 2012 Yeah I'd go with them, the ram that they are going to want to put in is going to be more expensive most likely. I personally would go with their ram, that way if it were to be defective or have any problems, they're left with the responsibility of fixing it.

dagodpere Posted April 20, 2012 Report Posted April 20, 2012 Installing ram is very simple, pop the cover off by unscrewing the screws on the bottom of the laptop and then remove the old sticks and insert the new ones. If i was you I would go with crucial brand ram, their cheap and great ram. Quote
FroznBeavrBALLs Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Posted April 20, 2012 yeah i guess that makes sense. I couldnt find anything about it on their site. SO im gonna have to call them. I also want to upgrade my processor to a quadCore but I havent looked much into options when it comes to that.

Robert8252 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Posted April 20, 2012 It's easy. My old MacBook was simple. Remove the battery. Take out maybe 4 screws and it was right there. Chances are you can take the battery out and it has a diagram of how to do it. Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff
