[QUOTE="Ubermensch, post: 898828, member: 118550"] Thanks! That answers my question about the maximum amount of RAM I should install: 3-4 GB (1 x 1 GB, 1 x 2 GB; 2 x 2 GB). Does anyone know the answer to my other questions: Will my computer be able to support DDR 3 RAM if what is currently installed is DDR 2? How many pins do my RAM sticks need to be compatible (200, 204, 240, etc.)? What speed can the RAM slots handle: DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10660) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Where exactly does CAS latency fit into all of this? Should I install Snow Leopard first or upgrade my RAM? I apologize for the numerous questions. Thanks again for everyone's help! [/QUOTE]
