    8GB of RAM and 5,2 MacBooks (Early or Mid 2009)

    Hello all! I haven't seen much discussion on this, but I wanted to just tell everyone that a 5,2 Early or Mid 2009 MacBook can be upgraded to 8GB of RAM!

    Mid 2009 Macbook (not pro) HDD to SSD upgrade?

    Hi there! I was wondering about changing the HDD to an SSD on a mid 2009 Macbook. Upon a few searches, I can't find anyone doing it on a Macbook, only on pros? Also is there any restraints on which SSD to go with? Thanks

    Macbook Pro Mid 2009 16 GB Ram

    Hello, Even if Apple states that Macbook Pro Mid 2009 (5,5) can be upgraded to 2 x 4GB DDR3-1066 SODIMM Ram. I wonder has someone tried to install 2 x 8 GB of ram? I see a video someone installed 16 GB of ram to his 2010 MBP. I wonder can I do same to to MBP 2009 13.3 inch? Regards

    Time to Reset SMC?

    Came home lost month to my Macbook whirring away for no discernible reason. Happened again a day or two ago, and then again just now. Also lately it has been waking somewhat slower from sleep than normal. Sound like stuff an SMC reset would take care of? Looking at the support article, they do...
