Hand me down memory...

Wednesday Dec 03, 2008

It became apparent when playing with Virtual Box that I needed more memory for my MacBookPro. I felt guilty needed to spend money right now until I looked at the prices of memory. A year ago, I was approving memory upgrades, from 2G to 4G for my team at $200 a pop. Last week, the same upgrade cost me $55 including shipping.

I went to youtube and watched several folks upgrade their laptops and off I went. The first time, I didn't push the new boards in hard enough and the laptop wouldn't boot up. Live and learn. It is working great now and the system shows 4G installed...

As a side note, MBP memory fits into MacBook as well, so I installed my old 1's into my wife's MB that had two 512's and double her memory. I have several sets of 1's if anyone has an issue or needs back the memory... :)
