Installing Memory in Brand New MacBook

[Pablo72]

Soon be taking delivery of a MacBook, and have ordered 4 gig of ram from our friends at Overclockers.

When I get the Mac should I install the new memory before my initial turning on of the machine? Or should I do an inital boot, closedown, and then install the new ram?

Cheers

Can do either, but doing it before would be easier.

A change to the ram size from when the macbook left the factory (so to speak) would not affect the inital start-up then?

Not at all, no.

I wish my Core Duo MacBook could go to 4GB RAM :/

Well, maybe later next year... *stops drinking alcohol* (pff!)

Can my 2.16 Core 2 Duo handle 4gb? I thought the limit for all MBs was 2gb?

EDIT: Guessing the new architecture can handle 4gb.

Whoops. Ignore.
