Unibody Macbook Pro 13", RAM Advice UK.

[-Node1-]

Hi everyone, Please can those people of the UK reccomend where i would be able to get 4GB of RAM from for the Macbook Pro, Cheaply? I'm new to the 'Mac Upgrades' Arena. So what would i be looking for? or is there specific brands i need to get?

I have the stock 2GB ram in there at the moment.

Thanks.

There are no specific brands you have to buy. Just have to buy the right models.

Best option is to buy from http://www.crucial.com/uk

They have plenty of different types, and you can just choose your MBP version on the front page which will give you all the ones they sell which are compatible.

Hopes this helps.

Hi Thank you for the quick reply, I have looked at curcial but the prices are very high. They only seem to do 1x 4GB stick, which seems very expensive.

Wouldnt it be cheaper if they did 2x 2GB Sticks?

I was looking for somthing under £50.

I have the latest 13" Macbook pro Model.

Hi Node,

They have a 4GB Kit on there (2 x 2GB) http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/lis... Core 2 Duo (13-inch DDR3) MB990LL/A Mid-2009

It's £54, so its around your budget.

Thanks.

They must have been out of stock. However it should've still been listed.

No problem mate. Enjoy the performance upgrade.

Well I've already changed the stock hard disk to a Western Digital 5400RPM 500GB. Since i needed more space.

I'll put 4GB of RAM in there too.

This MBP will be a desktop replacement of many sorts so is there anything else anyone could think of i could, do or upgrade to maximise performence?

I'll be doing Photography with Photoshop & Apature. Occasional Video Editing and Some Print work in Illustrator.

And it'll be connected to a desktop monitor.

I'm quite Technical when it comes to PC's. Having only owned Mac's since 2007 though i'm not up to scratch with various tweaks & other upgrades.
