Hey all,
per some advice in another post, i ordered the following RAM for my MBP (early 2008 version), since my mac can upgrade and utilize 4gb.
Newegg.com - Crucial 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Laptop Memory Model CT2KIT25664AC667 - Laptop Memory
it is the same type of RAM that is currently in my MBP 200dimm 5300 667mhz.
when i put both of the 2gb sticks in i get a black screen at start up.
when i put the stock RAM back in it works fine.
when i put one of the 2GB sticks and one of the 1 GB sticks in, it also works, and registers as 3GB.
it's probably worth mentioning that any combination of the sticks seems to work in, regardless of the dimm, except when both of the 2GB sticks are in at the same time.
i'm confident that i'm pushing the RAM in the whole way, since it works some times. i've seen similar threads, but no solutions for this. any help would be appreciated.
thanks
