[QUOTE="Noels, post: 666688, member: 49942"] Lex, Normally shouldn't be any problem going from 2GB to 4GB... If the 2GB is 2x1GB (2 1GB sticks, the normal situation), you would have to remove those sticks and replace them with 2x2GB (2 2GB sticks). If there should happen to be only a single 2 GB stick in the computer (unusual set-up), you would add a second 2GB stick, but they should both be the same specs (speed). If the speeds are different, the RAM will default to the slower speed. I don't think Tiger would handle it any different from Leopard, that's normally a motherboard/CPU call, not the OS's...
