Quoted so I don't hijack his thread, but a relating question. I thought I had a SR MBP (hence signature!) but now not so sure...
I have a 2.33Ghz MacBook Pro but Apple tell me it only supports 3Gb, so how do you tell if it is a "Santa Rosa" model and capable of holding more? I've just bought a single 2Gb module to take it to what I thought was the maximum, but I'm a bit worried that the non-matching modules have actually kept the speed the same. Have I added more RAM, but due to the differing sizes, not improved performance? It's hard to tell...!
Can I put more than 3Gb in it after all? I only bought it mid last year. System Profiler gives me the following information :
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: MacBook Pro 15"
Model Identifier: MacBookPro2,2
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.33 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 3 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP22.00A5.B07
SMC Version: 1.12f5
Serial Number: 3R6515HUW0H
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled
I'm a bit confused.
Thanks,
Jim
I could have asked this on another thread, but it was off subject. So, I was reading a post that hinted that the SR MBP is able to support 8 or more gigs of ram. Is there a limit on the Santa Rosa chipset, or is it that 4gb ram sticks are too much? Thanks for any help!
