[QUOTE="shail422, post: 1110199, member: 61275"] 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. [/QUOTE]
