What do you do with the old memory cards? Will you lose the information once the new one is inserted, and do you have to replace both sides of memory cards?
Looking forward to a response. Thanks

@MajorTechFan simplest way is to buy an Antistatic wrist strap

@MajorTechFan

to ground themselves, IT techs either use a wristband attached to a cord and clip which is attached to the computer, or antistatic gloves, or are just careful enough to touch a piece of the metal on the computer they are working on before handling the ram or other innards. If you live in a dry climate static shocks are likely, if you live in a humid climate you will probably never have to worry about it.

i really grateful to you for this, i just got a macbook form my friend and we thought its was broken but the RAM wasnt in all the way haha thanks alot!

@Kikiixoxoxo im in the same boat. SOMEONE please answer this!

its very difficult to make a shotrcut to your machine unless you build up static electricity (from wearing wool and rolling on your carpets), but you can also, buy an anti-static wrist if you want more security

I have a question, and any answer would be greatly appreciated

I want to upgrade my MacBook to 4 GB of RAM, and I want to do it myself. But I’ve heard that if you don’t “ground” yourself before doing it, there’s a chance you can shock the RAM and render it useless. So my question is: What is the best way to “ground” yourself?

Thanks for the video,
Just upgraded my Macbook to 4gig ram, and am typing this message on it. Your video was extremely helpful.
Now to jailbreak my iphone

what ram should I buy for my macbook? it’s the new model, and how much can I upgrade it?

@eragon3196 get 2 2gigs

thanks for posting this video… I just swapped out my old 512mb (x2) rams to a pair of sweet 2gig ones. My mackbook now runs like a charm. Thanks again.

thanks for the sweet video. now i can do it myself.

Does it matter what the name of the memory stick is called ? like if it says PC will it still work on a macbook ?

hey i have the exact same mac that you have, is there any way i can add more than just 2 memory cards into my mac? if there isnt, how am i supposed to add more memory into it?

Nice video Dude

No. The max memory that the chipset can support is 3GB. You can put 4GB put only 3GB will be used. Better to use 1x2GB and 1x1GB sticks.

i have a macbook with 2 gig, is it going to be 1x2gb or 2x1gb of ram installed?

@nubchaidub Lol! it happens. Even to news people.

Sorry but I stopped watching midway, I couldn’t stand the swallowing noises.

Thanks for the walk-through. I actually found it easier than you depict — my old RAM popped out easily and the new RAM seated properly without too much effort. The entire job took less than five minutes, including reassembly! The short screwdriver will be a problem for some people, but I had one handy.

can i put 4 gbs of ram into a 2.1 ghz intel core 2 duo on a 2007 white macbook? PLEASE HELP!!

I wish I could find a screwdriver that small. I have the correct size philips but the handle is too long!

no worries, your macbook will take ddr2 RAM ye , so get some stick it in an stop fussin about with it

matched pairs are best , so they say, a slight gain in speeds ..but in reality prolly not noticeable
tbh , the best upgrade is prolly putting a bigger HD inside ( WD scorpio blue 320Gb works well) and you get to keep the HD from inside the MB then go get a 6£ 2″ SATA case and bingo, nice free external

I wouldnt bother messing now, if you want RAM get ont crucial and get some in .
t

thanks for all the help but i have one more question can i only have one stick of ram installed at a time or two different types at once with different capacity well I don’t think so but just wanted to ask before trying any thing stupid but thanks anyway : )

no worries m8, did ou get fixed up ?

oh if you need any mac info, try a site called everymac ..they list ..you guessed it everymac lol

good site tho with accurate info stats etc for all macs.

best
