Ram confirmation

[dukebound85]

Will this ram work in a plastic uni mb with the 9400m?

I know the speed is faster than the stock but have read varying reports on the support of it

Also, can this mb model go to 8 gigs?

Thanks as always

If your macbook identifier is 6,1 it will work and you can use 8gb but the macbook will generate more heat. I've done the upgrade to corsair ram at 1333MHz and I had to mod the spd so that the ram speed stayed at 1067Mhz.

1333MHz = More heat and less battery

I remember commenting on your post after you had just finished getting it all fixed up. How has it been running anyways? Blazing fast? And Blazing hot too? haha just curious my friend.

Yeah I remember it's running just fine no more heat and got my old battery life back And yes it's way faster, too bad I can't afford an ssd now, that would be awesome too

Yup, it is a 6,1

So in conclusion
1) 1333 ram will work and can use 8 gig total
2) 1067 ram will work and use 8 gig total
3) There is not software limitation restricting it to only 4 gigs as I recall apple saying 4 was what it was upgradeable to as evidenced by this wiki article as well
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook

2 GB (two 1 GB)
Expandable to 4 GB

4) Any brand will work, correct?

Thanks

Any decent brand will (but macs sometimes are very picky with the ram, try buying ram with the same timings)

 

[dukebound85]

This would be a safe choice correct?

or this?

Seems like the same to me...what's the difference?

Thanks

Hahah 2nd link is rigged for apple pricing

 

[blackburn]

They kinda look the same but the second one as the previous post says it's a way to eat customers money

I bought non apple ram, just standard ram and it worked fine (now I bought faster ram and that gave me a little more heat so make sure that it's DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) ram)

Anyway the first link should work just fine

 

[dukebound85]

This a good deal?
