Not sure whether 4Gx1 and the original slot 1Gx1 or 5G total works for 13" MBP. Or does both slots must be of same size RAM.

it works best when 2 slots are using the same module

if ur running 1 x 4G and 1 x 1G, dual channel will onli work with the first 2G rams(1 x 1GB stick and the first 1 GB boundary of the 4GB stick) and 3rd GB onwards its on single channel

Thanks for the answer. Will replace with 2x2G Ram.
Another question, will replace HD from 160G to 500G shorten the battery life? Are all HD power consumption same?

If i bring my MBP there they will upgrade for RM299 or must buy MBP from them only they will upgrade for RM299?
What type of Ram they giving? Original Apple?

most likely will be kingston KTA rams, or other apple approved/validated ram

Just got out of epicentre. Their ram upgrade to 4GB is RM460+. It is the original apple RAM. RM299 is only for people who bought a macbook from them and upgrade on the spot. Now i freaking regret I didn't upgrade my ram when I bought it from the online Apple Store.. Haihzz.. Crucial also not cheap about RM350 including shipping. If I upgrade when I purchase the MBP only cost RM320. ZzZzzzzzzz. At least manage to get a nice sleeve le. Ptui!!

when u say original apple ram, did u ask which manufacturer ? coz apple doesnt make ram.

Hynix

Not only Hynix... in some cases Samsung and Nanya....

I mean Hynix as in EpiCentre is selling it for RM465 for 2GBx2
Whats the diff between that RAM and the
1) Corsair Notebook Ram - DDR3 1066 2GB 1066mhz = RM128x2 = RM256
2) Mushkin SODIMM DDR3-1066 2GB-RM140 = RM 280
Does it perform better? >.<

Guys, What do you think about putting an SSD into a MacBook 2.4Ghz Aluminum Model? I yearn for super fast boot up speed. So far, the best bet would be OCZ Agility 120GB or OCZ Summit 120GB. Both cost around RM1500+. Given that I'm just using 40GB out of a 500GB HDD I have. I think I can live with just 120GB.

Wanna know what you guys think about this. Thanks !

Cool Nimrod is selling Crucial RAM. Price is nice too..Now my regret gone.
Hope he replies my mail soon.

Btw which 500GB HDD is best for MBP 13inch?

any ssd u choose will definately give a great boost.. u wont go wrong.

alot of us are using western digital scorpio blue..

I see. I'll put test here once I got it. I'll be most probably compare it to WD Scorpio Blue 500GB and OCZ Agility 120GB.
LOL, one with 8MB cache and another with 64MB cache. Let's see how it goes.

lol, dont bother doin a comparison coz the ssd will definately win by a far margin.

Don't be fooled by the generalization that you will never go wrong with SSD. The typical MLC SSD's with the JMicron controllers suck badly in average response time and maximum latency making it much worse than traditional mechanical HD's in some cases. Of course they sport very good sequential write but in the real world scenario what really matters is random read/write.
This is a must read article for those looking to buy SSD's http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3531&p=1
It will help you to understand what to look for in an SSD.
