[QUOTE="The.Gab, post: 998669, member: 140114"] I wouldn't be very bright if I took your analogy literally. Your analogy did make the computer sound like it was an extremely specialized tool that only does one task like a hammer or a nail gun. I was talking about the transfer rate and had nothing confused. How much RAM I currently have on my MacBook (1GB) and how much RAM I plan to have (4GB) are not information I wished to divulge in my previous post since it wasn't relevant to the question. I already know that 4GB (2 sticks of 2GB) is my max. To make my question cleared, if I change my two PC2-5300 667 MHz sticks of 512MB to two PC2-6400 800 MHz sticks of 2GB, will my MacBook be able to take advantage from the extra speed? If it doesn't, I will buy two PC2-5300 sticks of 2GB, unless they are the same price. As for the iPhone, it is a school project, but after that, who knows. Maybe I'll make millions out of my apps. I can always dream... P.S. Are RAM sticks for PC compatible with RAM sticks for Mac? [/QUOTE]
