[QUOTE="Sennec, post: 476194, member: 32769"] I think installing 4GB (2x2GB) of RAM in your MacBook would be useless because (as you said yourself) it can only address 3GB. And maybe it wouldn't even work if you put 2 2GB sticks in it, I'm not sure about that though. To answer your second question. When you don't use more than the total amount of RAM you have, adding more RAM will not improve your performance. However if you do use more RAM than you have, the computer will use your HD for the extra memory and that will slow it down. So you should only buy more RAM when you really need it. [/QUOTE]
