so any of you guys upgrade the ram for macbook without using a pair of same ram

My housemate uses a Macbook with a 1GB module paired with the stock 256MB module.

i thought that is not possible???

i think someone in this forum said that pairing 1gb with 256mb made his MB could not open.....

I don t know if your talking about my case lokgotz, but i didnt pair mine...i just took out the 2 sticks and put in the single 1G stick..and apparently that's what caused the problem..

yeah..i was talikng about your case....i didnt know who was it when i posted the previous message....

i've read a few sites that says the same thing too...

anyway, my macbook is *still* running fine with 512mb......may need more in the VERY near future....coz sometimes i do feel the pinch already......hehehe

It needs to run in Dual-Channel

You need to put 1x 1GB Stick and 1x256MB stick [the same speed] , and then it should work

so if i pull out one 256 and put in my 1G, itll work..? i hope your right cause that would be cool.

well, cooler than running 512 la.

then is good la because i dont have enough money to buy 2x1gb stick

Where did you guys bought the extra RAM module for the Macbook? 512MB not enough meh for you guys?

Most of us here are hardcore computer user, so more memory reduces frusfration.

Hmmm..maybe u can let me knw if u wanna upgrade coz my MBP got 1.5GB ram, i am thingking in the near future to take out the 512MB and replace with 1GB..so can get 2GB.

So for the 512Mb can sell off

if i get your 512mb, i will only have 768mb in MB.....not much difference also....

please pm me how much are u selling...then i'll see how....

thanks

Can anybody tell me why is my MACBOOK left hand side there near the caps lock button there was so hot one ?
as my temperature is around 40 degree celcius.
izzit all the macbook also facing the same problems?

mine is hot at that area as well....

40 degrees celcius is VERY cold already i think...

mine runs at about 60 degrees celcius idle.......

In a non-aircond room, the average temp of my MBP is 50C to 60C. With many apps open at the same time, especially when ripping music frm CDs using the combo drive, the temp reach ard 70C++

If in a coold air-cond room, it is ard 40C++ with normal usage like web browsing.

All the above is quite normal based on my research at discu

yeah...this is the case for my macbook as well

inside an aircond room....internet browsing...

60C is very hot

Look almost same with my mac mini...normal temp like ~ 54C...no aircond...encoding can go up to ~70C...Intel is hot...

60 is hot....?

it's not even loaded....

try loading it for several hours and see.....

Hey guys. does aperture work properly on the Macbook *non pro version* was looking at it but swayed because of graphics power since i might be doing some design work *not alot but some*. I like the style and size for macbook better (MBP looks abit dated already). Other than that I would get macbook anyday (its cheaper too) =D

Edit: i did notice that its not on the compatibility list though on apple's website but it is about RM2k difference (before RAM upgrade of course). Maybe it will be a forced run (like pcs but lagging cos of performance issues) (although not quickly la but if it does run i dont mind).
