Hi all,
I'm headed to college this fall and I would like to upgrade the ram on my mid-2010 macbook pro 2.66GHz core i7. This is the 17" model, if it matters at all.
Right now I have 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3. I've read that I can't or shouldn't go higher than 8gb, but I think 8gb will be a big improvement. I'll be a photo major, so a little more pep in photoshop would be nice.
I was wondering where the best place is to buy replacement ram for this "old" macbook pro. I found 1067 DDR3 ram 2x4GB on amazon, good reviews, but also some bad...One of which says it didn't work with mid-2010 2.66GHz i7.... Is it important that I stick with the "1067 MHz DDR3"? Excuse my lack of knowledge on the subject.
Also, another quick question... The battery doesn't seem to hold a charge like it used to. No big deal, but I was also wondering if I can pick up a replacement battery for it, somewhere? Best brand? Place to find one?
Thank you very much in advance. I appreciate any input on this topic!
