    For a start you won't be able to put 3GB in, it has to be pairs.

    For example, you've currently got 1GB which will be made up of 2 x 512mb.

    You'll need 4GB total (or maybe 2GB if it's an old Macbook Pro). 4GB can be made up of 4 x 1GB or 2 x 2GB.

    Have a look at www.crucial.com

    They are pretty cheap. Never, ever buy RAM from Apple.

    • Sorry, I just realised you are talking about a laptop...Raniator
    • yeah, 3GB is do-able.Jaline
    • yeah I have to double check, but I think mine has slots for up to 3gig, from what I read.more than 3 it can't use.i_monk
    • Are you sure about that Raniator? I thought you just had to pair the RAM types -ie. the speed, not the actual size?detritus
    • It's apparently "best" to pair them up this way, but some have done further tests and see no huge difference.Jaline
