I want to upgrade my MBP RAM

[p.helwig]

hey there, I would like to upgrade my MBP RAM, I've a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 duo processor and 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory. I want to upgrade to 8 GB but I'm not sure wich modules I should buy.

it's a 13 inch bought in March 2010 running mountain lion.

Do you guys have some advice?

Thanks!

204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM RAM modules, either 1066 MHz or 1333 MHz (2010 and later) will do fine. I have two 1333 MHz modules in my 2009 MBP.

The same type that are in there now. With those specs though I'm thinking you're already maxed out, when is your MBP from? What generation is it?

Macs with DDR3 RAM can at least accept 6 GB of RAM, but updating the BOOT ROM will get you at least 8 GB RAM.

The 2.26ghz core 2 duo had me thinking the DDR3 was a typo, hence my question. Seeing as it's a March 2010 MBP though, the OP can indeed upgrade to 8GB.

Anything from this page will work though I suggest going with either Crucial, Kingston, Mushkin or G.Skill as they have great warranties. RAM sometimes comes dead on arrival.
