[QUOTE="yogi, post: 227123, member: 8542"] There are a lot of choices on this one. Personally I don't know which RAM fits with the Macbook. But a bit of research helps. First of all I found that Apple doesn't sell any 7200rpm drives in macbooks. I don't think 7200rpm drives would work either, de to heat issues. Macbooks use 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300) SO-DIMMs. I can't tell you where to buy any, thogh I hear Crucial is a good company. Whatever you do, make sure you meet those specs. External drives are a many. If it's something you wanna keep at home then you can get cheap drives of 250GB which are fairly large but cheap. You can also get super small iPod sized drives with up to 100GB but htey cost much over 400 USD. I don't have any personal preference on external ahrd drives, nor the experience, so I don't want to tell you something I can't fully support. But that's how far I can help you. [/QUOTE]
