[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1627708, member: 46727"] Mactracker says your early 2009 MacBook can accept up to 6 GB of memory. That would be 1 x 4 GB + 1 x 2 GB modules. (See below.) [B]Maximum Memory 6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple) Memory Slots 2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM[/B] However, if you have already spent money on 2 x 2 GB modules, you may not want to remove one of them and replace it with a 4 GB module which will cost more. The addition of a SSD replacement for the 5400 RPM hard drive that's stock for your machine should give it a good boost. Make sure you buy a SSD with enough capacity. The folks at OWC ([url=http://www.macsales.com]Other World Computing (OWC) - Performance Upgrades For Your Mac[/url]) currently have a Xmas sale on SSDs. Their SSDs are highly recommended and should give your machine some new life. [/QUOTE]
