Memory for circa 12/2007 2.2GHz Macbook?

Hi All,
The following question may have already been answered in this forum, but I wasn't able to find a clear answer, so:
I have a white macbook, Intel Core 2 Duo, purchased new in December, 2007. Original memory was two PC2-5300 512Mb(1Gb total) memory modules. I want to upgrade to at least 2Gb as required by the Lion OS* (have Snow Lepard [10.6.8] installed now). The manual for my macbook says 2Gb is the maximum memory that can be installed, however, some discussion threads indicate that up to 4Gb may be installed.
1. What is actually the max memory I can install?
2. Suggestions/recommendations for on-line memory purchases (macmall, newegg, amazon, etc)?
Thanks.
David
*Apple says MobleMe is going away this June, and iCloud requires Lion+.

Open System Profiler in the Utilities folder and note the Model Identifier in the display. If yours says 2,1 then you can install 4 GBs but only 3 GBs will be usable. If the identifier is 3,1 then you can install up to 6 GBs of RAM.
Best sources are OWC or DataMem

How do I get more memory for my Macbook Pro Spring 2010 13-inch with 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo?

How do I get more memory for my Macbook Pro spring 2010 13-inch with 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Apple says no memory currently available for that model. I have 4 GB memory and 3.99 used. Help!

Now I'm confused. This is the one Crucial told me to get:
CT3309356 - 4GB DDR3 PC3-8500 Unbuffered NON-ECC 1.35V 512Meg x 64
$45.99
Also what do you mean that actual memory is 16GB but with Apple it's 8?
When I go to the "About this Mac" it says Memory 4G 1067 MHz DDR3, then when I go to System Report it says
Memory Slot
Bank 0/ DIMM0 2G DDR3 1067 MHZ OK
Bank 1/ DIMM0 2G DDR3 1067 MHZ OK
Sorry I'm clueless. Just don't want to buy something that messes up my machine more than it already is.
The Crucial site appears to have recommended the correct spec 4gB RAM stick for your model. Please note that you will need to remove the existing sticks of RAM to install new, so you will need 2x4gB to get to 8gB.
When your model of computer was designed/built, it was tested with readily available 2x4gB (8gB). After release RAM retailers have tested it with higher amounts, and Apple didn't update their quoted specs.

What is the cheapest way to upgrade memory for Macbook Pro

I want to upgrade my memory to 8GB in my MacBook Pro.
Apple are charging $400.
I've seen this for £50. Will it work fine? If not, where can I get the best 8GB memory for a good price?

It was Kingston memory (KVR1333D3SO/4G; the newer batches are the same part number but are marked by "4GR" following the slash in the number). I did not buy a paired kit as it was not in stock; this may have contributed to the performance drop.
The metric in question was Xbench's Memory Test, specifically the System > Allocate number. Before the upgrade, I routinely benchmarked between 2.5 and 2.9 Malloc/sec (or a score of 750-800). After the Kingston memory upgrade, I never saw figures above 1.6 Malloc/sec (or a score of 420-450); roughly half of what I had seen prior to upgrading.
Since installing my OWC memory (which came in a package of two sticks), the performance is generally identical to the OEM (Hynix) across the board.
Hope that helps/clarifies my observations.
That helps a lot. Thanks very much for clarifying that. Yes, Kingston Value RAM is definitely not the way to go, as it has not been tested for compatibility, nor designed for use in Macs. See my other posts in this thread.
Kington's KTA line, OTOH, is tested for compatibility with Mac systems, comes in matched sets, and is very reliable.
AFA Kingston RAM, bottom line for Mac users:
KVR = bad
KTA = good

Hi, does your MacBook have Firewire, or just USB?
FW is far faster if you have that.
Avoid Bus powered ones.

USB only...

Does the standard Intel HD Graphics 4000 in the 13 inch Macbook pro stand up to other graphics cards with dedicated memory ( 1GB of memory for instance)?

Does the standard Intel HD Graphics 4000 in the 13 inch Macbook pro stand up to other graphics cards with dedicated memory ( 1GB of memory for instance)? I need a laptop for college and the Engineering program suggests a dedicated video card with minimum 1GB of video memory.

I have a Intel HD 4000 in my Mac Mini (late 2012), and it's okay for what I need it.
However:
- there were a few issues with flickering on the video output to external monitors. These were solved through a firmware update that came with OSX 10.8.3 - for the majority of the users. There is apparently still a small group of users that still has issues. You can read long threads about this here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4472316?start=0&tstart=0
and here
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4490924?start=0&tstart=0
So for most of us (me included) this issue is solved, but it seems that certain displays / monitors don't work well with the intel HD4000, don't know if there is a pattern or a list of monitor models...
- there was an issue with the color calibration on the HDMI output. No matter how much you tried to calibrate, the results remained unsatisfying. All light colors were crushed to white, wrong contrast, ...
You can read about this here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1482487
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4480354?start=0&tstart=0
The same firmware update improved this a little, good enough for me, but I can imagine it's not good enough if you do graphic work and need reliable colors from your monitor. On HDMI output, the thunderbolt/MDP output is fine. So it's mainly a dual monitor setup issue.
If it's for graphic work, I'd go for a Mac Book Pro with dedicated GPU !

Where can i buy original memory for my macbook pro 13inc mid 2012 and how much is this ?

"Memory sold by the Apple Online Store is guaranteed to be compatible with your Macintosh."
http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/memory
Other than Apple there are only two vendors with which I have personal experience and can recommend: Crucial and OWC. People have reported problems with many other brands, yet Crucial and OWC's prices are as good as any you are likely to find.
Go to Crucial and download the little app that examines your system and recommends RAM upgrade options.
Their prices are good but don't have to buy memory from them - determine what you need and buy it from Crucial or OWC / MacSales. You'd be paying Apple a lot more than either one of them, and you don't have to.

John, please refrain from posting your personal email in these threads. It is not necesary and all communication to you can be done directly in these forums. Posting your email address can open up you to tons of unwanted spam, among other things. Really all you can do is search the internet for them. My suggestion would be to google "case for late 2007 macbook pro".
One will probably be very hard to find for a 6 year old model as it is on the borderline of being considered "vintage". Ebay may be a good place to try too.

Best N wifi router for 2007 draft N macbook ?

I read that there can be a lot of N wifi compatability issues with these early draft N. laptops...
For a location servicing several PC laptops and one 2007 draft N MacBook, can anyone tell me what would be the best new router to buy?
Price is an issue... unless it is absolutely necessary, am trying to avoid buying the latest, greatest and most expensive.
Preference is also not for an Airport Extreme unless that is the only viable option.
All tips appreciated.

What particular LinkSys Wifi router do you have that works well with your son's 2007 draft N macbook pro? There are number of models now. Also, do you have any idea of whether your son's macbook actually get's N speed connectivity?
It's a [WRT310N|http://www-id.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=LProductC2&childpagename=ID%2FLayout&cid=1175242816979&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisit orWrapper&lid=1697985430B01]. I can only assume that he gets N speeds or he would have mentioned it. I'll have to get back to you about any details that you have concerning his connections. He is in college and this is his winter break so I don't see him too much. The balance of our network that uses G is enjoying increased wireless coverage and an increase in bandwidth availability.

What kind of memory for my early 2008 macbook pro

Hi again,
I need an advice. Since I do not want to get a memory that would not be recognized by my macbook (again) I would like to ask you what memory do you recommend...
Corsair Value select
VS2GSDS667D2 PC2-5300 2GB 5-5-5-15 200pin SODIMM
http://www.corsair.com/products/valueselect/default.aspx
or
Corsair Value select
VS4GSDSKIT667D2 PC2-5300 4GB Kit 5-5-5-15 200pin SODIMM
(this is probably absolutely the same as above, but in a kit)
or
APACER Notebook Memory - DDRAM2 SODIMM PC5300@667MHz, 2GB
http://usa.apacer.com/us/products/NotebookMemory_DDR2-667_SO-DIMMfeatures.htm
Btw, sorry if it is a stupid question, but what is the difference between Corsair memory above and Corsair memory for MAC? http://www.corsair.com/products/mac/default.aspx#notebook
Thanks!!

Not sure about the difference, but I upgraded my 17" MacBook Pro using the Corsair 4GB kit (2 x 2GB). No problems since.
These are 667MHz (PC2-5300-CL4) Low Latency 4-4-4-12 SODIMMs (200-pin)
I imagine the 5-5-5-15 latency sodimm you mention are the latest version

What kind of memory for my Macbook Pro Laptop

Hello:
I am thinking of getting more memory for my laptop.
I am unsure on what brand to buy, so I appreciate any input you might have. I have 2 memory slots that have 2gb each. How much can I put in each slot? 4gb, 8gb?
What kind of prices for the memory?
Here are the specs on my laptop.
MacBook Pro
13-inch, Early 2011
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Thank you!

You can put an 8GB module in each slot, giving you a total of 16GB. But that's the maximum.
Good sources of RAM for your model (which use 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs) are Crucial, OWC and Corsair. Other people may recommend other brands, but I would get one of the three (and I only include Corsair because that's what I'm using).
Good luck,
Clinton

To transfer your current hard drive I like the applications Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. They make a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive. http://www.bombich.com/index.html or http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.

I am just about to buy some more memory for my macbook, i have two options 1 is crucial and the other is transcend so which is better or are they much the same?

I am just about to buy some new memory for my macbook i have been told that Crucial is an option but i have also looked at Transcend, which one is better or are they as good as each other?

Hi ...
I for one have never had a problem with Crucial.
Check out the results of an ASC forum search for Crucial here.
Transcend I'm not familiar with.

Any cheaper solution for audio on 2007 MacBook Pro to TV?

I see this adapter may finally give me the ability to merge my audio with my DVI and connect to my HDMI based TV:
http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=3570
Is there anything cheaper that can do that. I know only the late 2009 iMacs and 2010 Macs can connect display ports to HDMI and have audio straight to TV.
I was hoping there might be a way to do this with my DVI on my 2007 Santa Rosa MacBook Pro.
I have a Sony 42" Bravia XBR9.

Have you checked Radio Shack? The staff are pretty knowledgeable about what you need to connect MBPs to TVs. Their cables are way less than $300.
