Did I buy the correct RAM? (for pre 09 Macbook)
I have a pre 2009 13in white macbook intel core 2 duo 2.1 ghz processor, model identifier 4,1.
I did a ton of research (although evidently not enough perhaps) before I made a purchase on a RAM upgrade. I currently have ~2.5 gb of ram, and I wanted to remove my 512mb card and replace it with a 2gb for a total of 4gb.
Tha 2gb card I bought is this one (different seller):
Hynix 2GB DDR2 Memory So DIMM 200pin PC2 5300S 667MHz HYMP125S64CP8 Y5 4260193742019 | eBay
I installed it and my macbook booted up with the dreaded 3 beeps. I looked on Crucial's website and it looks like this would be the correct RAM to order if I bought it from them:
CT25664AC667 - 2GB, 200-pin SODIMM , DDR2 PC2-5300 from Crucial.com
Also eshop:
Apple MacBook Memory DDR2 667MHz up to 6.0GB and up to 750GB Internal Hard Drive upgrades too
I don't understand the difference between these besides the brand. Knowing my luck I probably overlooked something completely obvious, or got a DOA product.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
