Mac – Which RAM to upgrade MacBook 5,2

macmacbookmemoryupgrade

I am trying to buy ram to upgrade a MacBook bought in Mid 2009. It is the 13 inch MacBook 5,2.

This document gives some specs on the ram. It says DDR2, but does anyone know if DDR3 will also work?

But I want to make sure I get the right thing. Looking for 2x2GB sticks for a total of 4GB. What should I look for in the RAM?

Best Answer

  1. DDR3 will not work in a machine that supports only DDR2. They're different technologies. In fact, DDR3 memory will not fit in DDR2 slots.
