Chapter 3

Boost Your Memory

This chapter provides information and instructions for installing additional memory

and for removing and replacing the battery in your MacBook.

Your computer has two memory slots that you access by removing the computer’s

battery. Your MacBook comes with a minimum of 2 gigabytes (GB) of 667 MHz Double

Data Rate (DDR2) Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM) installed.

Both memory slots can accept an SDRAM module that meets the following

specifications:

 Double Data Rate Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (DDR2 SO-DIMM) format

 1.25 inch (3.18 cm)

 1 GB or 2 GB

 200-pin

 PC2-5300 DDR2 667 MHz Type RAM

You can add two 2 GB memory modules for a maximum of 4 GB of memory. For best

performance, fill both memory slots and install an identical memory module in each

slot.

WARNING:

Apple recommends that you have an Apple-certified technician install

memory. Consult the service and support information that came with your computer

for information about how to contact Apple for service. If you attempt to install

memory and damage your equipment, such damage is not covered by the limited

warranty on your computer.
