Hey,
I have decided that instead of buying a new macbook, I will upgrade my current one from late 2007, as all I use it for is music / watching videos.
Specs are - MacBook 3,1 Late 2007,
- 2.2Ghz, 4Gb, 120Gb HDD
- Snow Leopard 10.6.8
- [Battery]
Full charge capacity (mAh): 4493
Health Information: Cycle count: 543
Condition: Normal
-----
I am looking to put a 128/256gb SSD in my macbook, to replace the current 120gb hdd. Yes I want to keep my optical drive, please dont say have both, I simply want to take out the HDD and put the SSD in. Yes I know I need to carbon copy clone it etc
I want to know what are the best deals/brands of SSD to get, specs of my "SATA" I think it is called? If someone could link me to releveant SSD or just the "type" of SSD to get I will search as well for best prices. Also I need to get a external enclosure kit and stuff as well I think.
Intel ICH8-M AHCI:
Vendor: Intel
Product: ICH8-M AHCI
Link Speed: 1.5 Gigabit
Negotiated Link Speed: 1.5 Gigabit
Description: AHCI Version 1.10 Supported
Also, I have 4gb RAM installed from OWC, but on their site now it says my macbook can support 6GB RAM, (4gb,2gb). Is this in fact correct, anyone else use this 6gb setup, big improvement, definitely works etc etc?
Thanks in advance!
Dan.
