Here's the plan:
1. Put a 4GB RAM, replace 1x 2GB slot
*According to OCW other world computing this MacBook Pro early 2008 2.5 GHz phenyrynyn can support 6GB of RAM, even though Apple says 4GB.
Correct?
2. Buy SSD, take HDD, SSD and connect via SATA (sata 1, who cares)
3. Remove optical drive
4. Put HDD where CD drive was
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm buying:
$75 4GB DDR2 667MHz from DMS "no brand, distributor/manufacturer whatever"
-It's cheaper? Lifetime warranty? Why spend more? They seem legit..
$115 Same **** 115GB Data Memory Systems SATA II..
-Same reasons
$3.50 IDE/ATA (aka PATA?) to SATA adapter
and see a better view of it here
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mostly concerned about the adapter?
Haven't looked inside..........yet
FINALLY if you may confirm I'm not an stupid and check attached screenshots including System Informle:tion for:
Any advice is welcome.
-Thanks,
Anton
P.S. I'll definitely be doing this...
