New Macbook Pro and extra RAM

Gman · 24 Oct 2008 at 20:28

Anyone got one of the new macbook pro's and bought some extra RAM via overclockers?

if so which ram did you get and is it quite easy to change on the new Mac book pro ?

The new ones need DDR3 the stuff on ocuk is DDR2.

iFixit have posted a guide on how to do it, looks simple enough.

You can stick in a max of 4GB it seems. http://www.macrumors.com/2008/10/24/new-macbook-pro-does-not-support-8gb-ram-for-now/

The OcUK stuff is 667Mhz and the new MBP has 1066Mhz, the 1066Mhz is quite rare at the moment though, quite expensive too.

But extra RAM is always good in any Mac, OS X does love RAM.

cheers guys will leave it for a bit then untill the right ram is better available. Seems fast enough at the moment in both OSX and Vista.
