Macbook ram upgade, 2gb-4gb

hey guys.

so right now, i just came up with a newyears resolution.
and that is to have a little work done on my macbook, since i havent treated it well for the past 3 years of owning it.

its got chippings in the corners, and i broke one of the arrow keys, i still have it but its broken :/ i also have to replace the screen frame because one corner simply doesnt hold.

i will replace the entire inner case.

and to sum it all up i will have it go though a nice ram upgrade.

but this makes a slight dilema,

some of the macbook models only support up to 2 gigs of ram,

according to a table HERE late 07' models can run up to 4 gigs.

i used coconut identity card to find out when my macbook was made, and it said "between 22.10.07 and 28.10.07" now if i dont fail at months, 10 seems to be November.

now the question is, IS November 2007 late 2007?

btw, would you guys want a build tread?

cheers.

Yea, it should take 4gb of RAM.

Have you thought about getting a new, faster hard drive to increase the system speed? Hard drives are the #1 performance upgrade for the machine.

yeah i have, but i'm sorta low on buget, eventhough i have my warehouse G3 to store all the data while i do this upgrade.

another reason is because i still have my copy of itunes 9, and i dont want to upgrade it. xD

You could also take a quick look at the link below. You can track down which model you have using any of several numbers that Apple uses for their products ie: MB061LL/B, A1181, MacBook3,1, etc... It lists dates of manufacture as well. There are also some comments inserted in the descriptions and some links to answer common upgrade questions. Good luck!

You could also try Mactracker - it should identify your machine - and it will give you information like how much extra ram you can put in.

That's what I was about to post. That program helped me out quite a bit when looking for upgrade specs for my MBP.

OWC is a good place to buy the RAM if you choose to go that route.

The hard drives really aren't that expensive. A 1 GB RAM upgrade costs me about $30. A 640 GB, 7200 RPM hard drive cost me only $80. It is a little more expensive, but you get much more bang for your buck.
