Im probably just the minority dun b scared haha. Those with problems are always more vocal

Wah thank you so long didnt update hehe

my #1 recommendation, seagate momentus xt. #2 hitachi travelstar 7k500 or the slightly cheaper 5k500, and #3 would be western digital scorpio blue

if u rajin a bit maybe just go n try do it urself, very easy. u will feel more 'intimate' with ur MBP once u know it inside out haha

u manage to find it sold locally? evn 750gb hard to find

no i cant :S well not the drive only lah. WD passport 750gb n even 1TB i can find

SD24 is the firmware version. it's printed on the drive sticker

should be fine. some forumers here are using that RAM

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

yeah i realized some sellers in garage sales havent update their prices for 4gb ddr3. the standard price now is ~120 for 1066mhz n ~160 for 1333mhz. perhaps u can PM them n ask what's their latest price

quite a few forumers using this. i'd say upgrade to momentus XT 1st (well proper SSD better lah if money is no problem), sure got improvement for RAM, u wont feel the improvement if u dun need 8gb

well 1066mhz is actually 1066.66666... dats y system info round up to 1067

yea 1333 will underclock to 1066. but 1066 cheaper ma

which shop have corsair 4gb 1066mhz? wanna get one next week. max out 6gb ;p

it should support

u said it works with 4gb + 2gb right? what if u swap the 4gb with the other 4gb one? does it still work? just to check if one of the 4gb stick is faulty

no need to install the OS. boot from the OSX dvd, then restore from time machine

u're stuck with USB/firewire enclosures

play full HD movies for me no prob. photo n video editing i never try so i dunno

Guys, ive just stumbled across this piece of info: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1109412

Apparently now the late 2008 MBP 2.4ghz (the one im using) can already support 8gb of ram. Previously only 6gb. Can anyone confirm this? If this is true im gonna get a pair soon

that's what i thought too. but after reading the comments on that page, im wondering if anyone here had any success

dun want to be the guinea pig

thanks for confirming this i've asked about this firmware on the previous page hehe. good to know it actually works

how much did u buy the KTA rams for?

^ you can, just that it'll downgrade 1333mhz to 1066mhz automatically. try to find 1066mhz if u can, those might be ~rm30-50 cheaper i guess. if cannot find just buy 1333mhz lah

yes you can. im using a hitachi travelstar 5k500

can u try using the trackpad on another mac?

what do u mean by 'can do the job'? are you trying to compare a slow cpu / more RAM comp to a fast cpu / less RAM comp?

better CPU = generally faster computer
more RAM = can do more things at once

8gb mbw 2009 maybe only will feel faster (compared to the 2010 mbp) at >4gb load.

maybe u can tell us what's on ur mind n why are u comparing between the two? and what job are we talking about here?

only got two... 9.5mm and 12.5mm i think. but i guess both should fit in any MBP just fine. it's the older pre-unibody (15", not sure if the 17" is fine) ones that they cant fit in
