+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted April 23, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 23, 2008 I just jumped to Mac OS X - I've bought a few High-End Laptops in my time and the polycarbonate material is what swayed me - the glossy plastic in a lot of Windows-based laptops is really flimsy stuff. Especially in the keyboard. As with most Apple products, the packaging was excellent. Simple to set up. I just bought the basic White MacBook. MacBook 13.3-inch 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 1GB DDR2 RAM 120GB SATA 2 Hard Drive ATA CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combi Drive Mac OS X 10.5.2 I got one question though. I have some spare DDR2 RAM from one of my old Laptops (Non-Mac) - They're two 1GB Sticks of DDR2 PC2-5300. They're both identical Samsung sticks. Will they work fine or will I have to grab something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyX Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Huy : I see that you have 4GB of RAM.... I have a 24" iMac from the first gen of 24", but sometimes it's really laggy and all, and my memory is always full in the Pie Chart of Activity Monitor. Will it really change something if I get 4GB of RAM instead of 2 eventually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furyshinobi Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) ^^ IMO, I am not really sure if you can use those non-Apple ram on your Macbook but maybe someone else would be able to help you :) I am also a recent Mac user (or Maclovin as I like to call myself :p) iMac 20 Inch (Intel) 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 1GB DDR2 RAM 250GB SATA HD Built in DVD/CD Burner (Not sure which model) Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.2 Edited April 23, 2008 by darkstreetracer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smethead Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 You can put non-Apple ram in your MacBook. Mostly it will have a tag Apple MacBook ready or something similar.

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted April 23, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 23, 2008 I'm not sure it will have that tag - it's been pulled out of a HP Pavilion dv2550se. Which is a pretty modern machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it really change something if I get 4GB of RAM instead of 2 eventually? If I'm not mistaken, the first 24" were the white (2.16) Intel ones. They support up to 3GB only. Get the most RAM that you can. I got mine from OWC (eshop.macsales.com) and I'm in Australia! Also any RAM will do. No such thing as "Apple RAM" (they use Hynix in the ones I've played with/owned). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicane-UK Veteran Posted April 26, 2008 Veteran Share Posted April 26, 2008 Currently got a Mac Mini but just ordered an iMac - due to be delivered on Monday :) 20" Display 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo Radeon 2600HD Pro 320GB HDD 1GB RAM 8x Dual Layer Superdrive Planning on ordering an extra 1GB to throw in it, though seriously pondering a 4GB kit as they're not MEGA expensive.... hmm...

Well, that explains it! I'm running a 30" Dell monitor, and get some occasional flicker every now and then..wonder if doubling up on the vid card would help? surprised you didnt get the 3.0 or even the 3.2 ghz, especially running all that stuff at the same time, and the video rendering has got to slow things down a bit...

REM2000 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Been a DOS/Windows User since about 1989, decided to give mac's a try First Mac Brought in 2005 Powerbook 15.4" 1.67GHZ 1GB RAM 80GB HDD (External 80GB USB HDD for Time Machine) Running Leopard 10.5.2 Was my first mac and used it for media and generally getting used to Mac's Was impressed with the speed and versatility of the laptop. Came with Tiger (It was just released) and am still amazed that i didn't have to reload the OS throughout all the years of use. (I used to reinstall windows every 9months / 1 year). I only reinstalled to upgrade to leopard. The machine is still running strong, very fast for a lot of operations. Second Mac Brought 2006 Macbook White 1.83GHZ 2GB RAM 320GB HDD (External 320GB USB HDD for Time Machine) Running Leopard 10.5.2 Well and truly a mac fan now. Wanted a computer to use both home and at work and when i was out and about. Something smaller than the powerbook with a bit more umph. Upgraded the memory when i got it to 2GB RAM, upgraded the HDD this year. Keeps all my media with me so i can listen while i work. :) Third Mac brought End 2007 iMac 20" 2GHZ 2GB RAM 500GB HDD (External Firewire 800 Worldbook 1TB for Time machine and file storage) Running Leopard 10.5.2. My two laptops were always additional computers to my main computer, which used to be a dell windows xp machine. I realised i hardly used windows at all. I was a PC Gamer but got hacked off with less and less games on the PC Platform (The charts seemed to be made up of world of warcraft and various sims and fifa clones) Went over to Xbox360 and Wii and decided to replace my main home computer with a mac. It was hard to decide between the 20" and 24" however i decided 20" was the best size, as was the speed, for the tasks im gonna use it for now and the future 2GHZ is a good speed. Replaced my Dell as my Main machine and couldn't be happier. I did setup bootcamp but can't remember the last time i loaded it up (i will delete it as i don't find a use for it anymore). All mac's are used for lifestyle, i.e. photo's, media, surfing email etc.. never had a problem with any of them, very impressed with the mac platform.
