We installed few 1333MHz module into MacBooks & MacBook Pros before, it work and even recognize as 1333MHz in System Profiler. But the Mac will only run at 1066MHz no matter what you do.

QUOTE(b48753 @ Dec 23 2009, 12:37 PM) Thanks for the info.. FW400 is not 4pin, it's 6 pinbut need 4pin FW400 for transferring my video capture in future Mac Mini.. Added on December 23, 2009, 12:38 pm looks like ur's is more practical.. Nway is there any FW400 or FW800 hubs sells on open market? 4 pin is know as iLink (refer by SONY) or 1394 if your videocam use iLink, look for iLink to FW400, then use the sonnet adapter |

I want to upgrade my hard drive on my Macbook White 2.4 GHz. What option I have? And what is the largest capacity hard drive can support in my Mac?
Currently the hard drive that running on my Macbook White is a 320GB Samsung 2'5 hard drive. The problem of this hard drive, it will lower down the quality of the video that capture from my DV camera. What are the reasons? Should I change a new hard drive? I am thinking of upgrade my Macbook White 2.4GHz (not the Nvidia one) RAM from 2GB to 4GB. How much does it help me on running Final Cut Pro on my Macbook White? Or should I upgrade it? |

AFAIK, up to 500GB can fit into the MacBook.
HDD can't affect the quality of the video... I'd suggest calling the AppleCare hotline and finding out the real reason. |
