Installing Ram in a MacBook Pro Duo Core
« on: June 09, 2010, 09:51:35 AM »
Hello everone, it's been awhile, I guess.

I'm installing Ram in a MacBook Pro Duo Core


Installing Ram in a 15" 2.4 Ghz Intel MacBook Pro Duo Core, it's on it's way.

I can't find a pdf or movie on how to install it.

Just lookin for help.

Thinking.gif Core Duo (single chip w/two cpus...as opposed to the later duo-two-core-2-duo-double-core-w/two-cores-each thingy. Besides, it's easier to say than "duo core"... laugh.gif scram.gif

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF COUNTRIES
Those that use metric = #1 Measurement system

Hi Krissel,

I hope life's treating you well.

Texas Mac Man,

Thanks for that page. I've got the Ram from OWC.

I'm just maxing it out by taking out the 2-1ghz matched set and putting a different 2-2ghz-matched set in.

Looking at those images really help. I never put ram in a book before.

Didn't know it was that easy. smile.gif

Replacing RAM is really easy these days, not like the old days when you had to take things all apart.



Gary, things are OK here. How are your plants doing?


Remember this?

Hi Krissel,

I remember that picture. I called it crash bonsai. My son had a lot of little cars then.smile.gif Now he's 20
and in College. He likes bigger cars now.

The plants are doing fine. All my favorite old ones are still alive. I have to keep the quanity
down these days and make smaller ones. They are much easier to care for at 61. wink.gif

As for that ram, I was done in 10 minutes! Wonderful!!
