[QUOTE="DeadGlory, post: 867025, member: 108060"] Hello, I just purchased my first Mac "Mid 2009 13" MBP" and I'm quite fond of it. I am looking to put some upgrades into it already, but would like some advice from the more knowledgeably and experienced. Im a little confused with the x32 bit x84 bit mumbo jumbo, I know that a 32 bit will only detect up to 2 gigs of Ram though. This doesn't apply to my mbp because I saw them advertising up to 8 gigs of RAM? Also, If I buy and 2GB stick along with a 4GB would it be worth it? I have heard if you don't buy matching sticks it can inhibit the performance. Here are the items Im looking to purchase. [url=http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Hitachi/0A57547/]320GB 2.5" Hitachi Travelstar 7K320 7200RPM SA... (0A57547) at OWC[/url] [url=http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/8566DDR3S4GP/]4.0GB (2x2.0GB Kit) PC-8500 DDR3 1066MHz...
