hardware-recommendationmacbook promemoryupgrade
I'm looking to upgrade memory from 4GB to 8GB on my MacBook Pro 15" 2.4Mhz Core i5.
I've been looking at Mushkin 8GB RAM on NewEgg, but it's been getting bad reviews lately for not working properly with MacBook Pro Core i7. I'm not sure if it still works OK with Core i5…
Is there a trusted 8GB(2×4) RAM upgrade for MacBook Pro 15" 2.4Mhz Core i5?
As long as the technical specifications (DDR speed, clock, physical size) line up to what Apple lists for your model MBP, you should be fine.
To answer your second question, that isn't possible. MBPs (along with every laptop I have ever opened up) contain only two RAM slots.
I have upgraded the RAM to 8GB for my MBP470. See the config below. No problem happened. Be noticed that, 470 only support 1066MHz DDR3 RAM. Do not use 1333MHz RAM. The 8GB RAM is from Sumsung.

I’ve always brought memory from OWC with success.
