MacBook RAM upgrade question

[ImanRoman]

Hey, I own a Macbook (Mid 2007). It currently has 2GB of RAM, but I would like to upgrade it.

Can I just buy one of these:

And pop out one of my old 1GB stick, or do I need to get two 2GB sticks to make it work (even though I know I can only use 3GB of it):

Thanks.

The sticks don't have to be matched. Just one of the 2GB sticks will be fine paired with the 1GB stick that is currently in the machine

Okay thanks, I hope this will breath some new life into my machine. I want to see if I can get at least one more year out of my computer.

I have the same MacBook and also asked about this: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1203872/

Whilst that's true there is a small performance gain from using 2x2GB sticks.

That'd be nice. I'm wondering whether I can do the same with my MacBook. 2GB RAM really isn't enough for Lion.
