Hi,
I've got a 15"MacBookPro running Mac OS X 10.4.11 with 1GB DDR2 SDRAM, and I'm interested in adding another 1GB in the remaining slot. This is to try to cheaply increase performance when simultaneously running apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Powerpoint, etc, which my pro seems to have trouble doing. My question is, would it be OK to add another 1GB into the empty slot without removing the existing preinstalled 1GB if I get the new 1GB from an outside vendor such as Newegg or Crucial? Or, is it necessary to have both slots carry RAM from the same vendor (ie. replace the preinstalled RAM with new 1GB for each slot)? Thanks,
