Hi guys,
bit of an odd RAM related question!
I recently sold my 2007 iMac to fund a 2008 Macbook for travel purposes. I met the guy selling me the MacBook in the Apple Store while he restored the system and whilst there I enquired about upgrading the standard 2GB of RAM to 4GB. Upgrading the RAM shouldnt be a problem as it's something that I've done on a previous macbook I had BUT...
Instore the Genius directed me towards the usual 'Crucial' online memory store which, when my machines details are entered (late 2008 13" macbook), reads that I require DDR2 RAM.
When I enquire via 'about this mac' regarding the factory RAM currently sitting in my machine its states the memory slots accept DDR3 RAM.
Having done a secondary search on the spec of the laptop support.apple.com it states also that it requires DDR3 rather than DDR2.
I'm presuming crucial is a reputable company having been recommended by apple and found the 'search by machine and model' very helpful when searching for the ram for my machine. I'm sure i searched correctly as I've re-checked a number of times.
Any help on this is much appreciated I'm presuming DDR3 is the RAM I need but just wanted to check before I went spending a decent amount of money on RAM that could potentially be no good to me!
Thanks a lot guys
