QUOTE(ujoewong @ Jun 3 2009, 08:47 PM) To answer your question, Yes, you can put a 7200RPM into your MacBook. thx for ur reply It is because of the 7200RPM spindle speed of your HDD, this makes your MacBook vibrate even more than your stock HDD. I've used a WD 320GB 7200RPM HDD and installed it into my MacBook 2.4 Alu, I took it off because the vibration it gave out was too uncomfortable for me. If you willing to trade the quiet-ness for speed, by all means go ahead. Applications on a 7200RPM HDD are more snappier meaning they are more responsive. Now, I'm using a 500GB 5400 RPM WD Scorpio Blue installed into my MacBook which is quiet and quite fast I would say and for the extra 180GB you get. For RAM, I'm using Crucial RAM 2X2 2GB=4GB. I'm using this since the 1st day I got my MacBook Alu from Machines as I requested for an upgrade on my RAM. Regards.   but i m asking tat is kingston value ram compatible with the macbook alu 2.0ghz  anyway just to report tat end up i buy a WD 500GB normal HDD haha |
