I bought my MB from Studio, and they charge me rm 540.00 for the ram (2x2gb). it is a Transcend rem. So far been good, no problem. )Studio by far sells Ram the cheapest.

if you see this list here : http://tr.im/2f1s

it lists transcend together with kingston,etc.

@mleong did you get it from Studio @ LYP ? How long since you installed new ram.

i use Kingston..4GB ..........Damn cheap nowadays...less than 150 for 2pcs of 2gb

Anyone know price if i upgrade my mb alu at Machine ?? And how much from other reseller also ?? Dont want DIY myself coz read a lot of ram problem issue after upgrade it to 4GB...

Do you really need 4Gb that much? if not just stick to 2Gb, i think it's more than enuf, at least for me xD

Yup really need it coz i open open 2 windows mozilla with a few tabs and also run VMware already used about 1.4GB Ram. The free only about 300MB. I dont think it will enough for run large scale analyse....some of the software not available on Mac OS X. So VMware wiser choice but it takes so much ram...

That why try ask the price to upgrade the 4GB if possible.

Tq..

@esssymanex have u read the posts on page 1 & 2 of this thread ? prices are all stated there

hi there, just wanna ask that what is the max memory ram can upgrade for MB 1.83ghz dual core (1st ver of mb) ? thanks

If I m not mistaken...the max ram is 3GB.....

pls check the CPU.
if your About This Mac reports "Core Duo" then your max RAM is 2GB
if your About This Mac reports "Core 2 Duo" only then is your max RAM 3GB

for those using the Santa Rosa (Intel GMA X3100, you have a max RAM of 4 GB, can safely ignore the above instructions

Thanks.

If my existing MB - Core Duo is onli 512MB, so can i just install 1 stick of 2GB ram in 2nd slot while maintain my primary slot - 512MB?

no the core duo chipset only addressees 2gb ram at max,the 512 wont be recognized,just go with the 1x1GB pairing so that it can go dual channel

i c...sorry for last Q... dual channel is for any purpose? more efficiency in performance is it?

I've just upgraded my MacBook 2.0GHz from 2Gb to 3Gb and there is a big difference, partially due to the fact that I also upgraded my Hard Disk to 250GB the same time but damn its fast now.

you sure bout that brother?
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macb...body-specs.html

says 4GB ram is the max supported by apple. and mac city was giving out 4GB ram as standard for macbook 13" alums for promo.

Maybe you got it wrong. The previous polycarbonate MacBook (Santa Rosa/ Penryn) only supports up to 4GB. But the Merom version of the MacBooks supports up to 3GB of RAM.

Although Apple stated on their new laptops that it only supports up to 4GB but actually,the aluminum MacBook supports up to 8GB but only 6GB is usable because of the 32 bit structure of 10.5.(Correct me if I'm wrong)

So lets wait for snow leopard with its 64 bit architecture.

I'm quite sure of my info.
@ Jason, go thru the spec for each and every model, back to 2006 and you'll see.

I've tried installing more than 2GB on Core Duo, it doesn't detect.
I've tried installing more than 3GB on Core2 Duo, also doesn't detect.

Not tried installing more than 2x 2GB (4GB total) on Penryn, mainly cos those chips are crazy expensive.
Anyone wanna experiment, my Penryn 2.4 is ready

i just bought iMac 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo with free upgrade 4GB RAM recently, it works perfectly.

Santa Rosa MacBooks can also use up to 6GB of RAM. So it is..

Core Duo 2GB
Core 2 Duo Merom 3GB
Core 2 Duo Santa Rosa 6GB

btw, Tiger is already a 64-bit OS... the memory is not only bound by system software, also bound by the hardware. Which is why even installing Snow Leopard will not help the Core Duo to have more RAM... the CoreDuo has a chipset (hardware) limitation, keeping the RAM at 2GB
