[QUOTE="nemick, post: 1328865, member: 27798"] Because I was upgrading two laptops at the same time (this 13" MacBook and also a unibody 15" MacBook Pro), I did things a little differently than originally planned. I purchased a 500 gig, 7400 rpm replacement HD and after cloning it, I put it into the MBP along with an additional 4 gig of ram for a total of 8 gig. This made a significant difference to the speed and usability of the MBP. I then took the 320 gig HD that was originally in the MBP and installed it into the MacBook, along with additional ram to a total of 4 gig of ram. I was expecting to only register 3.25 of ram on the MB because it had been indicated that although I could exceed the supposedly maximum ram of 2 gig, I would not be able to use all of it. Happily, all 4 gig of ram registers and appears to be working normally. Thanks again for all the help. I'm now good to go.. [/QUOTE]
