On my way Senior Member 596 posts Joined: Sep 2004	I was thinking about the shipping back cost about Rm 140.00. Since then, better i used it. It very rare freeze up but notice if you do sleep the macbook for long hours, normally turn to freeze.

On my way Senior Member 596 posts Joined: Sep 2004	Wah never heard before. I just read E-book Macworld they advertise tell about OWC specialist in Mac. Then after order and make payment. I was go through Apple discussion site and a lot of complain regarding on upgrading 4GB. I also wondering why got problem because the older ram which is 2GB using same brand and same chip Micron from Singapore got no problem at all but after upgrade 4GB give problem. Not answer until now. Huhu

On my way Senior Member 596 posts Joined: Sep 2004	QUOTE(lloyd1030 @ May 19 2009, 11:57 PM) Where can we buy the memory in malaysia beside apple premium retailer? Kingston KTA-MB1066K2/4G, anyone using this module from kingston? For those ram price is RM 330 for 2GB then 2 stick, you can calculate it. Never try it coz i get my ram from OWC. 2GB ram price for KTA = 4GB OWC ram.

On my way Senior Member 596 posts Joined: Sep 2004	QUOTE(lloyd1030 @ May 21 2009, 02:19 AM) If not mistaken OWC ram can only get from overseas, right? How much we need to pay for the shipping? Is there any custom tax charge to the item? Yurp it from US. The shipping cost me 26.30USD. No custom tax charge. It send using FEDEX. Can track the item too. What a good service

On my way Senior Member 596 posts Joined: Sep 2004	QUOTE(lloyd1030 @ May 21 2009, 10:55 PM) How long have you been using the owc ram? Any problem so far after you install the ram? Are you satisfy with the ram? Sorry for so much question, thinking of upgrading my mb to 4GB and i don't want to buy the wrong memory module that will cause problem to me. Already 2 month using this ram. I upgrade it togethet with 500GB and got problem on wake up after sleep. I thought ram problem at first place. After do some calibrate change with older 2GB. The same symptom come, so it means the ram not problem. Send to machines to check the problem and their said hard disk problem. After change the hard disk, no problem until now. but still report it as bad ram hehe coz don't know it hard disk problem.

On my way Senior Member 596 posts Joined: Sep 2004	QUOTE(lloyd1030 @ May 22 2009, 12:25 PM) So, your ram is no problem at all is just the hdd problem. I think i can buy the ram from owc since they are cheaper than many of the ram around here. Thanks for your reply, it clear up many question for me. One more question, your 500GB hdd cost you how much? SSD or normal hdd? Also buy from OWC or you buy it local? You are welcome. Just the normal hard disk since 7200rpm really expensive. I brought hard disk at local shop.

On my way Senior Member 596 posts Joined: Sep 2004	QUOTE(daidzz @ May 29 2009, 03:54 PM) Model Name: MacBook Model Identifier: MacBook2,1 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz Memory: 1 GB Bus Speed: 667 MHz I want to upgrade to 4GB ram but i asked machines and they said it would cost me RM399 x 2 which is ridiculous! Somebody please recommend me good 2x 2GB RAM hardware that fits to my specification and a rough price? (if possible please recommend the reliable brands like Kingston, etc the ones you have been discussing above) Thanks! For 667Mhz, u can buy brand like Mushkin...

But i'm currently smoothly IM-ing, skyping, surfing the internet while playing FM 09 (football manager 09) Wehey! = ) Wow DDR800, sure it working ?? Maybe it down clock to 667Mhz, that why it working..

On my way Senior Member 596 posts Joined: Sep 2004	QUOTE(daidzz @ May 30 2009, 12:24 PM) Yep it's working like a charm, It's clocked down to 667, but it's working great. Now the only problem is that i've realised that i have the GMA 950 chipset model for my graphics card and it cant play the sims 3, There's nothing i can do about the graphics card can i? Can i in any way change it? = S No, the graphic already built in the logic board. So, cannot change it..
