- Black Macbook 2.2Ghz
I purchased two 2gb 200 pin sticks of ram for my black macbook.
Exact purchase.
Newegg.com - Kingston 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Memory for Apple Notebook Model KTA-MB667K2/4G
Cool right? The macbook can have 4gb tops of ram.Go from the standard 1gb of ram(two 512 sticks). To 4gbs.
I purchased it off newegg.com
Said it was compatible. And I got a great deal. 55 dollars. So I jumped in and bought it.
I go to put the ram in. Fits perfectly and all.
Put everything back together. All happy. Go to boot up my macbook.
And nothing. So I yell a big ***. and fiddle with it. Heres what I've figured out so far.
I put in the original ram. Boots fine. Two 512mb sticks.
Put in just one 2gb stick of ram and nothing happens. No boot.
Put in a single 2 gb stick of my new ram. (1 x 2gb) And a single 512mb stick.
Works perfectly fine. Computer sees it as 2.5 gb of ram.
Then put in the 2 x 2gb sticks. Nothing again.
So if anyone could help me. I beg of anyone that could figure this out for me.
So I have no clue what is going on.
