Hi everyone, I currently have a macbook 6,1 late 2009, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2GB of ram. So I have 2 questions for you.

1.) I really need to upgrade my ram because I have been editing some videos, and playing minecraft (which runs slow with only 2GB of ram). So I was wondering if my macbook would run fine with if I used 4GB of ram in one slot and 1GB in the other for a total of 5GB (I'm wondering if the uneven distribution will affect my computer), or should i just buy 2 2GB sticks of ram? (Apple says my mac can only run a 4GB, but I have heard that it works with up to 8)

2.) Where do you suggest I buy my ram from because this is the first time I've upgraded my computer?

(If you have any other question for me I'll be back in a few hours because I have class)

Thanks,

Kevin
