Hi,
I have a MacBook 3,1 White (late 2007) in hand. I would like to do some upgrades (if possible). But it seems I can do nothing other than SSD (RAM is now 4GB). If you could advise: * 4GB RAM are the Max to go? * Does SSD Sata 3 compatible? (Speed slow a bit doesn't matter, as long as compatible) What else could I consider? Appreciate in advance ๐ This post has been edited by mactreouser: Oct 25 2019, 03:23 PM |

QUOTE(wei @ Oct 26 2019, 03:04 PM) These model of MacBook only has SATA1. If you are getting latest SSD for it. Be sure to double check if it backward compatible. Not all SATA3 drive are able to work in SATA1 port. You should have no issue if with SATA2 drive. Appreciate Wei for all those useful info! Does it mean not worth to proceeding upgrade anymore? What could I do for this monster ๐? Any suggestions?In the end with all the upgrades this model only able to run 10.7.5 max. And many app wonโt run on it even browser will have limitation. Hope youโve considered all these.  |
