I read this on the Apple site, which pertains to my model: MacBook Pro: How to remove or install memory This has me sort of confused, it says DDR3 there, but then below it says DDR2 - does this mean that I can put DDR3 successfully, or not? Do I need to use SODIMM RAM? In either case, where is a reliable source of inexpensive, compatible RAM? |

Best place to double check is by clicking on the Apple Logo in the upper left and then clicking "About This Mac" That will tell you the type of memory that you have, and need. A few great vendors are NewEgg and OWC. Performance Upgrades; FireWire USB SATA Storage; Memory, more at OWC Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more! |
