[QUOTE="Pettor, post: 845122, member: 100854"] Hi, Iam going to upgrade my Macbook Unibody 13" (2008 edition) from 2gb of ram to 4gb of ram. First question. The Macbook only have two memory slots, right? So the 2*1gb of ram that's in my computer right now is filling up every slot? I.e. i have to buy 2*2gb of ram now and exchange the old ram modules? Second question. The supported ram is 204-pins memory modules? And is OS X able to use 4gb of ram (64-bits OS)? Iam thinking on buying these ram modules (Swedish site, but should be ok to read anyway): [url=http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=432706]Komplett.se - Corsair MAC-Memory 1066MHz DDR3 4GB KIT[/url] Edit: I found out that there also were a cheap pair of "unbuffered" ram modules exactly like those I show above. Do i need buffered ram? I use VMware fusion quite much, as well as quite resource heavy applications (Netbeans, Glassfish etc.): [url=http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=418383]Komplett.se - Corsair Value DDR3 SO-DIMM 1066MHz 2GB[/url] Any help is very much appriciated. :) [/QUOTE]
