currently using stock 2 x 1 gb ram from apple..
im confused in choosing the best ram for my macbook..does all mbp ram compatible with macbook?
Kingston 4GB 204pin 1066 DDR3 SO-DIMM RAM - is this compatible with my macbook?
sorry im totally new so i get really confused..hope somebody will help me..i wanna buy the ram this holiday at lowyat..

should be fine. some forumers here are using that RAM

Kingston 4GB 204pin 1066 DDR3 SO-DIMM RAM install in my new 15" MBP.... so far running smooth....

i juz bought and installed the Kingston 4GB 204pin 1333 DDR3 SO-DIMM RAM. so far so good. the system automatically underclock to 1066.

Kingston almost compatible for all macbook/imac/macbook pro..even its KVR..

Thank you all. I'll try to get it this week

tats the max

hey, i'm feeling like an upgrade for my macbook pro 13'.
what kind of upgrades does apple have in store for us?

must i go to their stores for an upgrade or self/other shops @ lowyat?

thanks.

Flash disk and ram upgrade or you can fit in 2 disk instead of one
Any store will do although those apple authorised might charge you more

what do you mean by flash disk?
i don't know that term. enlighten me more please. =))

my current ram is 4GB, will upgrade to 8GB makes my work ( Adobe After Effects rendering/etc.., etc.. ) faster?

is it possible to upgrade Processor? my current ones is 2.4GHz Intel Pro Duo.

anyway, i heard that only Apple Certified can repair/upgrade/service our macs. if not, will void our warranty. correct me if i'm wrong.

i think by flash disk he meant SSD. basically it's a faster, more expensive hard drive. this is the best upgrade you can do if u have the money

im not sure if a RAM upgrade will speed up rendering. but no, you cannot upgrade the processor of any laptop. n it should be Core 2 Duo, not Pro Duo

u're wrong about only apple certified can upgrade etc. u can do it urself, just make sure u dont spoil anything

so the only upgrades available are HDD & RAM?
hmmm... don't think worth it.

might as well wait for new mbp and sell my current mbp 2010 and get a new one? =3

thanks anyway.

mind to tell us which part u want to upgrade?

Rendering etc is not my field but I'll try my best in terms of sharing friends' knowledge in this area.
From what I can remember there are few that you can do to improve it. Sunce this is mbp you can forget about those cpu, gpu and stuff. If you have a friend that can lend you these spares before deciding then it will be great. Upgrade ram to 8gb and try to get perhaps a firewire external disk for you scratch drive etc seperated from the OS. If you see performance gain noticeably faster then you can think of maybe:
Getting firewire external drive
Get a second internal hdd and decide for flash or those normal ones
For memory you can try to install some freeware and when you do your rendering please watch for some vital stats like swapping etc. This will pretty much tell you if you are in need of memory upgrade

I won't suggest new mbp since you still limit yourself in terms of these. If you are serious might as well go for mac pro or maybe imac the very least. You waited for new mbp and adobe released new software that basically tie you down again. If you want to make the best experience out of this then maybe try those upgrades. Can always carry the ram perhaps or sell it off and certainly move the flash disk or ext fw hdd to new mbp should you decide to get one

just installed Kingston V+100 SSD 128gb.. Super quick boot (21sec from boing sound) and apps launch all in about <1 sec except PS, it takes 1.5sec hahahahaha

r u using mbp 13?

where and how much you bought the SSD bro?

wow that is cheap! i m a bit noob on ram, what is the 'spec' of the ram.. is it suitable for MBP 2010?

i see in garage sales, 4GB DDR3 is about RM200+ each..

yours is MBP 2010 too? where you buy and how much eh? you buy 2 pcs of 4GB?

Have u all heard about the momentus XT? It's hybrid, SSD and HDD if I'm not mistaken. Had anyone use this before? Surveyed the price at lowyat, only cost around rm4++ for 500gb. Which one should I upgrade first, RAM or SSD? Which one will greatly increase MacBook performance?
