[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1172801, member: 56379"] Without the exact specs of your exact MBP model, I can't give an exact anwswer. But yes...2008 MBP's can be upgraded to 6 gig of ram. Here are a few ideas: 1. Don't have as many programs open at the same time (just have the programs open that you actually need at the moment). 2. If you "sleep" your computer a lot when you are done with it (for weeks & weeks or more)...try "restarting" it every so often. I find that this helps. 3. An almost full hard drive can also cause these problems/symptoms. Don't worry so much about the ram brand...just go to one of these guys: [url=http://www.macsales.com]OWC[/url] [url=http://www.crucial.com]Crucial.com[/url] ...and you will be good to go.:) HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
