ur 1gb memory is it both 512 and ur 2 gb memory is it only one slot?

i'm not sure whether dual channel of combining both memory will have better effects in terms of speed.

Seems that the most recent firmware update has also helped to solve some stability issues regarding ram upgrades on the new alu macbooks. Anyone else here considering to upgrade their rams on the alu macbooks? I'm thinking of upgrading to 4gb and Machines is offering about rm799 for 2x2gb DDR3 modules. If there could be a cheaper and also safe option I would like to consider that smile.gif

Anyone here can vouch for MacStudio ? I've read in another thread that they have such bad customer service and this is regarding the LYP branch.

i have sucessfully updgrade my macbook white early jan 2008 with kingston KVR667 Ram which cost me rm69 perstick of 2GB of ram, so total my macbook is 4GB of ram,

so far no problem whatsoever eventhough i try to open all app which have take 1.4GB of ram usage on my macbook,

anyway i do feel the differences of my macbook of this 4GB of ram but personally i must say, 2GB of ram should be alright if doing basic job( like me, surfing net,dl movie and play song etc).

but with the cost of rm69 per stick, better to uprade it to the max.. huhuhu... smile.gif


Added on December 18, 2008, 1:12 pmbtw my old macbook ram brand is Hynix, its a korea brand ddr2 ram and my macbook is week 38 production...
