Ram compatibility for White Macbook 2006

Want to upgrade RAM and note Apple specs say
RAM Type: PC2-5300 SO-DIMM
200 pin
Someone local to me is selling the following
2007 Two x 1 GB PC2-5300 S)-CIMM/CL5 laptop ram
# Memory Type: DDR2 667 SDRAM (MicroDIMM)
# Capacity: 1GB
# Bus Speed: 667MHz
# Access Time: 3ns (min.) / 8ns (max.)
# CAS Latency: CL5
# Form Factor: 200-Pin ECC Registered DIMM
Should the RAM be compatible?

My opinion and many others here is to go with a company that offers Lifetime Guaranty on their RAM.
Some like NewEgg or OWC also have "foolproof" ways to make sure you purchase the correct RAM. Try this link...

  • HT1635 How do I know which Hard Drive to get for my MacBook 2006? The old Hard Drive is a Toshiba (MK8034GSX) S/N Z6APT2XUT 9H5 EC. A?

    How do I know which Hard Drive to get for my MacBook 2006? The old Hard Drive is a Toshiba (MK8034GSX) S/N Z6APT2XUT 9H5 EC. A?

    I've put a 250gb 7200rpm drive in an Early 2006 with no problems.
    For a new hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE
    Or OWC  http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
    Here are instructions on replacing the hard drive in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
    To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.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.
    Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/HDE-SATA-Hard-Drive-Enclosure/dp/B001AAVA08/ref=pd_bxgy_pc _text_b
    If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5

  • Is there a maximum RAM capacity for a Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2009?

    My questions is essentially, is there a maximum RAM capacity for a Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2009? I'm aware there are two RAM slots in my machine, but in past experiences with other laptops/desktop computers (not Apple) there was a default maximum which couldn't be overidden despite how much RAM was inserted.

    You can upgrade up to 8GB using 2 x 4GB 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 modules. That's the maximum (unlike 2011 and later models which Apple tells you can only hold 8GB but can actually run 16GB).
    If you do order RAM, order from a Mac memory specialist - Crucial, OWC, Corsair, etc.
    Good luck,

  • White Macbook 2006 random shutdown solved removed cpu heatsink and more

    I picked up a cheap macbook from a secondhand retailer for $300 and it regularly shutdown, froze, restarted as well as the grey kernel panic screen completely random no real pattern. I set about trying to solve the problem swapping ram and hard drive with my identical 2006 macbook (which I had similar problems with last year, fixed that one with a new battery connector cable). The ram and hard drive made no difference so I downloaded istat menus to see if any combination of cpu voltage, current and temperature were causing the random shutdowns. It seemed when the temperature reached certain values the computer would shutdown or freeze(around 30 to 50 degrees). I'd read on other forums about faulty cpu temperature diodes so I reapplied heatsink compound to the cpu heatsink and checked all the wiring for shorts but nothing seemed to solve the problem. I was ready to retire the computer and use it for spares for my other macbook when needed but I pulled the keyboard off one more time and tried something completely radical. This fix requires some forward planning and software installation but it has completely solved my Random shutdowns completely.
    for instructions see my next post *Fix for random shutdowns white macbook*

    Ok this is not for the non technical person but it is quite a simple process with the right instructions.
    This first step is very important install the software coolbook($10) and fan control (Free)( not smc fan control). Set up coolbook to operate the cpu at the lowest speed and voltage for both power adapter and battery(1002MHz and .95Volts). Remove the keyboard to access the computer logic board (instructions can be found at iFixit). Remove the four screws and two connectors holding the heatsink to the logicboard and gently lift the heatsink out (very important that you leave the fan screwed in and connected). Close the computer back up if you wish to test just gently connect the keyboard and loosly sit the keyboard back in. Restart and reset the pram immediately. Let the computer boot up and then open system preferences and configure Fan Control to your liking. So far no random shutdowns for over a week (was getting many a day previously.

  • Case Cracks White MacBook (2006)

    I have observed cracks on my white macbook (Late 2006 model) case (both insde & out side). Everytime I take an appointment with the Genius, they say that they are so busy to replace the case and they might need at least 3-5 business days. Since I did not have an alternate computer, I have delayed a bit. Now that I recently got a iMac, I would like to turn in my macbook for repair. Not sure if apple has spares to repair the cracked outer shells. Any idea how long and how much it costs to get it fixed ? Or can I return my laptop to get some store credit and buy a new Macbook ??

    Only Apple would know that.  Also, ask Apple.  Not going to happen.  You can't return a 6 year old mac and expect to get a store credit.  Since the repair volume of the store seems to be high, get an estimate and leave it there for repair if you find the price of repair to be acceptable.

  • Stock RAM Configuration for 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Hello,
    I have a new 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo on it's way to me and I need to order a RAM upgrade. I know the specifications of what I need, but am getting conflicting information from the retailer on how the stock models are configured for RAM. The total amount is 2GHz. Does anyone know if this amount is provided by one or two RAM modules?

    You'll find the RAM is in a 2 x 1GB configuration. Unfortunately they both need to come out for you to upgrade to 4GB RAM in a 2 x 2GB configuration. Still cheaper than going with Apple which makes it a little softer.

  • RAM upgrade for 2010 Macbook Pro

    I have the 13" Macbook Pro 2010 unibody model which I bought in May 2010.  It has 4GB RAM installed when I bought it.  I purchased two (4GB) RAM DDR3 204pin 1333Mhz.  Will this be compatible?  I want to upgrage the RAM to 8GB.

    Hey boss I checked MacTracker and for the Early 2010 13" MBP (your model) it showed these specs:
    2.0 or 4.0 GB PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs
    Max RAM 8.0 GB
    For the late 2010 13" MBP it showed these specs:
    2.0 or 4.0 GB PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs
    Max RAM 4.0 GB
    To answer your question no you cannot install that memory you mentioned.  It could cause damage to both the memory and to your macbook pro. 
    Download MacTracker it is a free app that shows specs for almost every Apple device made. 
    I hope this has helped you.

  • White Macbook (2006?) won't find available networks?

    So my macbook (got it sometime in '06) had suddenly stopped functioning in any wi-fi capacity.  It says it is searching for networks but doesn't find anything.  I've tried cycling it on and off and have all so rebooted the whole machine.  The network is working perfectly on the other 2 computers, 3 iphones and ipad in the house so I don't think it's on that end.  Haven't had to do much troubleshooting on this front before. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I had this same problem with a Dell Laptop, before I moved to the Mac line... Your problem is treatable, but not free. Your Wi-Fi receiver has died... One option you have for reparing it is to take to and Apple Retail store or Best Buy and have them perform diagnostics and replace the Wi-Fi reader. A cheaper option would be to buy a USB Wi-Fi reader... However I don't recomend this, because they are cheaply made and don't always work... Hope this answers your question!

  • DVD-RAM support for iMac (late 2006)

    Hello,
    according to the thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4755862
    I have a iMac C2D 2,16GHZ and a Pioneer DVR-K06 DVD Drive
    According the pioneer specifications this drive supports DVD-RAM read and write.
    ( http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/vgn/images/portal/cit3424/310207082POVDVR-K06.pdf )
    But it isn't possible. Why? DVD-RAM is ideal to backup data. It can be rewritten over 100,000 times (DVD±RW approx. 1,000 times)
    It is possible that Apple supply a firmware update that allows to read and burn DVD-RAM?

    Thank you and SG for your responses.
    Several of my TV's DVD Recorder features are not available with the use of a regular DVD disc and require a DVD RAM disc (chapters, etc.) So I decided to do some experimenting and cross checking of the DVD Recorder and my computer DVD-RAM supported DVD burner/Premiere Elements with regard to disc types for DVD-VIDEO. That is what got us to my question.
    Several months ago, I got involved in someone else's issue where he could not rip content from a DVD disc which had its origins in a camcorder that recorded to either a DVD-R or DVD-RAM disc. I suspect that my mini test ran into similar issues, that is, DVD-R with the recording format of DVD-VIDEO and DVD-RAM with the recording format of VR. (I added this explanation to clean up my previous misspoken comment about DVD-VIDEO format having a different folder/file structure depending on whether a DVD-R or DVD RAM was involved.)

  • Is PNY RAM good for a MacBook Pro. Late 2011 15"

    Just curious. Want to upgrade. Running mavericks.

    Warranty -- lifetime -- is a requirement.
    And ensure it is "tested to be compatible with Mac" as Macs get picky about RAM.  Crucial tests any RAM it sells as compatible before stating it is compatible.
    Kingston "Value" is much reported as in-compatible.

  • Where can I find a 16gb or 32 gb ram upgrade for my 13" Mid-2012 Macbook Pro?

  • White MacBook become yellow-dirty

    Hi,
    I've read a lot of articles from the web about cleaning methods for white macbook.
    I've bought this laptop in 2006 and now, after three years of use (I'm a lady and I usually have my computer sessions with clean hands :-)) the area (especialt dx part) near the trackpad and the trackpad button are become somehow 'yellow'.
    As I've tried first with computer cleaning kit that was very good for the screen and exterior part but doesn't solve my real problem. Then, I've tried with 'magic rubber' of Mastro Lindo that works for almost everything, but in this situation also this one was useless.
    So, my mac is not cover by assistance anymore, but I think is something related to the material, not to the use. Before getting frustrated and running after my reseller to ask for assistance, I'd wanna now if some other people have the same problem and it has a solution.
    thanks in advance

    The white MacBooks only have dirt and discoloration problems for some people, not everyone. It all depends on what you put on your hands or what your body secrets more abundantly than you wash off. We are all biologically different.
    I have heard many folks say that they good very good cleaning results using Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (U.S. based product name) but I have never had cause to use it so cannot comment from experience. It is an abrasive so using it on the glossy plastics seems like a bad idea, but again, I have no experience with it.
