Hi all,
I'm running OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard, and wish to upgrade to Yosemite so that I can use speech dictation. I'm seeking advice to guide me through that process.
I have a 2009 Macbook, and System Profiler says this;
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook5,2
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.13 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MB52.0088.B06
SMC Version (system): 1.38f5
I know I will have to upgrade the RAM on this machine or buy a new Mac to run Yosemite in a happy manner. So I will ask about RAM first.
Thanks to a generous member here, I have found this RAM:
Computer upgrades for Apple MacBook Models MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2009) from Crucial
However, my manual says this...
Given that I already have 2GB of RAM installed I'm wondering if adding more RAM is even an option for me. Crucial seems to think so, my manual says no.
What say you?
Thanks!

For best performance, fill both memory slots and install an equal memory module in each slot. The maximum amount of memory you can install in your MacBook is 2 GB, using one 1 GB DIMM in each memory slot.
