Thats clear, but again, it's about $500 to be spent, so $600-650 total with extra RAM.

Always upgrade! It makes all the difference you could hope for.

http://www.transit.pl/apple/rozbudow...0mhz-ddr3.html ... Makes it $70 instead of $160... hm.
Do they even make different RAM modules for apple? Not talking about brand, but about compatibility.

The RAM for your 2.26 C2D is the same as mine ... I just checked on www.macsales.com

8.0GB (4.0GB + 4.0GB) PC8500 DDR3 SO DIMM 204pin 1066MHZ

Offer still stands if interested?

Yes this is what you need ..:winkwink:

Why would an SSD cost $500?

If you mean because you'd have to buy a high capacity one because you only have one drive bay, sometimes there is an extra slot called micro something where you can add one of those "ssd hard drive card things" which is NOT the technical term for it

Also- yeah, crucial scanner should tell you what you can max out at. Or look for your specific model # specifications in google

to check on your macbook pro ram based on the model, simply go to the "apple logo" in the top of your screen, check "about this mac", then goto "more info", "memory"

You have to put the same speed - if you go higher it may work or it may not but regardless of speed, the processor will slow the speed down to whatever it is (1067MHz) so it serves no purpose.

a 512GB would be $500 here. It makes no sense to have a 250GB one... tho, may be even that would do, $350 then.

Thanks, correct, figured it out finally too.
Ordered a couple of 4GB Kingston, will see how it goes.

What I'm saying is, you could have a smaller one to install the o/s and your most frequently used programs on.. Like in mine I have a 90gb I installed windows and all of my programs on, it was only $90 delivered.... then I keep movies and music and shit on a mechanical drive

dappz-datton 02-26-2013 03:51 AM
um this was so cool :) to add RAM to your MACPRO it can help a lot to speedup your machines.....

I guess you're right.

So the plan would be to install 8GB RAM first and then a 128GB SSD.

MrMaxwell 02-26-2013 07:04 AM
Exactly
I have an Asus K501J laptop I got for $50 and it's got the 2.x core2duo with 4gb ram.. With an SSD in there the thing runs fast as hell. More ram is always better too of course

I upgraded from 4gb to 8gb about a year ago and it was a huge improvement. When it slowed again I upgraded to a 500GB SSD from Crucial. The speed improvement is amazing and worth every cent!
