Hello,
I have an idea, please comment if its a good idea or not.
I have a Macbook white 13' with the following configuration purchased on 27th May, 2008:
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier:MacBook4,1
Processor Name:Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:2.1 GHz
Number Of Processors:1
Total Number Of Cores:2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed:800 MHz
Boot ROM Version:MB41.00C1.B00
Apple has recently launched the Snow Leopard OS and what I plan to do is upgrade my existing Leopard 10.5.8, add in an extra 1GB RAM and buy a new battery. The reason for doing this:
1) The new white macbook does not have a firewire port, Infrared port(I have an apple remote and use it quite often)
2) The macbook pro 13' is quite expensive.
3) The new macbooks have a mini display port, whereas I already have a display port attached to my HDTV. I would again have to purchase a new set of mini display port.
Even if I consider buying the new Macbook white, it comes at a cost of $999, whereas if I stick to my plan it comes to about $300 without losing out on all the essential ports like IR, firewire.
Now my question is
1) Will the hardware support the new Snow Leopard software ?
2) Will the 1GB RAM suffice or is the RAM upgrade necessary?
Thank You.
