Hi there! I wanted to ask your help as I'm about to upgrade my old white macbook unibody of some years ago. Here are the details :
Model Name:MacBook
Model Identifier:MacBook7,1
Processor Name:Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:1
Total Number Of Cores:2
L2 Cache:3 MB
Memory:2 GB
Bus Speed:1.07 GHz
I've always been suggested to upgrade the ram and I think I will upgrade it with 8GB.
I've recently been told about the hard drive. To buy an SSD. What would you suggest? That's even more expensive than the ram.
Thanks
Hello Guys, I am new to the forum! Here are some comments on saving this old Apple MacBook’s, once you or some tech like me perform these upgrades the machine will run better than a new Mac for a reasonable cost.
Kingston/Micron SSD will make a SIGNIFICANTLY greater improvement.
It will give nice performance experience, MUCH faster!
I am running my mid 2010 as follow:
Micron SSD 3GB transfer drives with 240gb capacity paid $59.00.
Ram total of 4gb
Micron SSD divided equally 120gb each partition
Partition 1 = El Capitan OX
Partition 2 = Windows 10
The replacement job was tedious -- just be sure to use THE RIGHT TOOLS.
You might consider putting in more RAM while it's open, in my case was not necessary, since Photoshop and MS-Office runs adequate for me when booting on El Capitan or Windows 10.
But again, adding the SSD will REALLY boost the overall performance, I done it on my 2011 MBP as well with Micron 240gb with 6gb transfers type.
Comments are welcome....
