[QUOTE="felix27, post: 1577841, member: 324416"] Hi guys, bit of an odd RAM related question! I recently sold my 2007 iMac to fund a 2008 Macbook for travel purposes. I met the guy selling me the MacBook in the Apple Store while he restored the system and whilst there I enquired about upgrading the standard 2GB of RAM to 4GB. Upgrading the RAM shouldnt be a problem as it's something that I've done on a previous macbook I had BUT... Instore the Genius directed me towards the usual 'Crucial' online memory store which, when my machines details are entered (late 2008 13" macbook), reads that I require DDR2 RAM. When I enquire via 'about this mac' regarding the factory RAM currently sitting in my machine its states the memory slots accept DDR3 RAM. Having done a secondary search on the spec of the laptop support.apple.com it states also that it requires DDR3 rather than DDR2. I'm presuming crucial is a reputable company having been recommended by apple and found the 'search by machine and model' very helpful when searching for the ram for my machine. I'm sure i searched correctly as I've re-checked a number of times. Any help on this is much appreciated :) I'm presuming DDR3 is the RAM I need but just wanted to check before I went spending a decent amount of money on RAM that could potentially be no good to me! Thanks a lot guys [/QUOTE]
