Greetings,
I currently have a early-2009 17in 2.93mhz MBP with 4g ram, I would like to upgrade it to 8g ram. I live up in the arctic(100kms south of the North Pole)so am unable to take it into apple but am willing to do it myself. I took a look on the apple website for the appropriate memory cards PC3-8500:
Memory - Apple Store (Canada)
but they're prices; in my opinion, are ridiculous - $600 for 2x 4g memory cards!!!
Is it possible to install non-apple memory cards and if so can you recommend any that I could order in Canada and use, for example, anything off of Tiger Direct? I order from there all the time....
Search Results for PC3-8500 at TigerDirect.ca
I am also in the market to upgrade my solid-state drive to a faster model but will open a similar thread after I get the ram figured out.
Thanks in advance,
Damon
