[QUOTE="Old man skater, post: 1820961, member: 402736"] Hi again all, Just had my new 4GB 677MHz DDR2 RAM arrive. Popped it in the only working slot and YAY! It works. 4GB in one slot on an old MacBook. The other slot unfortunately is definitely not working even after trying to reshape the housing (I didn't want to push things to much as i didn't want to damage the logic board anymore than it already is). So the next stage is to buy a new logic board as suggested earlier in this thread and then try the upgrade to 6GB DDR2 RAM. I have another 2 questions though.... The new 4GB RAM chip I bought (from crucial) also has a SO-DIMM moniker. Any ideas what this means in terms of performance and architecture?? And finally any recommendations for a high capacity and high speed SSD for the MacBook? Anyway thanks for the great advice. I'm a very happy chappy now :) [/QUOTE]
