Okay a friend just brought me their late 07 macbook that they said they had put new ram in. The only put one new stick in, the stick is 2 gigs and the old 512 stick they took out, I was looking at the computer and it was only registering 512 mbs and so I reset the PRAM, I did not have time to reseat the ram or anything but was wondering if there is anything else I could do. Is the ram perhaps incompatible, but why would it only register up to the 512 mbs?
Got a tip for us?

According to Apple, mid or late 2007 models came with two sticks of 512 mb stock, or two sticks of 1 Gig. Most likely you need to re-seat the new RAM.
hi, i might be wrong but i always understood that you have to put two identical sticks in. i would go and get some new ram, its really cheap right now.
