Upgrading Macbook RAM
Hey everybody. My friend has a macbook and he is looking to upgrade the RAM to 2 gigs. I needed to double check for him if the following RAM will be sufficient.
mushkin 1GB DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Memory for Apple Notebook Model 971504A - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146126 Also, is there anything special I need to know about installing two of these puppies into a macbook? Thanks again, PricklySponge  And if anybody is wondering, I built my computer and its up and running, partially because of those who helped me on this forum.

Follow the instructions from Apple on how to install memory modules. Before you order, you will need to confirm that the MacBook is using one 1GB RAM as opposed to two sticks of 512MB RAM. I believe you can do that through Apple>About this Mac>Configuration>Memory - I could be off a bit. It should tell you what is in each slot. Otherwise, you can physically check by following the instructions given by Apple I linked to above.

Two of those will work perfectly. Installation is a snap. You'll also see that when you remove the L-Bracket that you have access to the HDD too, replacing that is just as simple as replacing the ram.
The ifixit guides come in handy sometimes http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/86.0.0.html
