Macbook ram ? Please advise.....

[edcoche]

Will this RAM work with my brand new Macbook? Here's the link: http://www.buy.com/prod/4gb-kit-2x2...-240pin-dimm-non-ecc/q/loc/101/206166546.html

Under buy.com's "tech specs" it says that it is PC5400 type RAM. I thought the MB only supported up to PC5300. What I am trying to do here is upgrade my MB's ram to 4gb. Any advice would be much apreciated.

No, it wont work

what you need it a 200 pin SO-DIMM, like these: http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?model=280&type=Memory&TI=1213&shoupgrds=Show+Upgrades

I don't think it being spec'd at 5400 would be a problem (higher speed is okay, because it's backwards compatible) but it's 240-pin, which is the wrong size. You need 200-pin.

Edit: Beaten to the punch!

It's a Blackbook 2.2 w/ standard configuration. Thanks for the info, going to get myself 4gb in the near future. Looking forward to the increased performance that will bring forth.

Yeah, definitely crucial. I just bought 2 x 1GB sticks from them for my santa rosa macbook, only $56!. I discovered that crucial ram is micron's US manufacturing wing for direct sale to the public. The ram that the macbook came with is from micron, so I have no doubt that it's good long-lasting ram.

Shoving it in is a b**ch though, and I have small hands. I always think I'm going to shove the ram right through the logic board.
