Hi all,

Im about to pick up a MacBook 13 Inch 512 mb (2x 256) ram from the apple store, and im planning to buy one 1gb SODIMM for 1.25 gbs of RAM.

Ive been hearing that you cant have uneven ram sticks or the computer will crash alot, is this true?

Thanks in advance

not true. do a search in this forum for matched ram or paired ram. it'll tell you everything you need, rather than rehash the same arguments/myths.

not true at all, I have 1 512 stick of the crap it ships with and I bought a 1 gig stick of OCZ 1024MB PC5400 DDR2 667 SODIMM and I ran mem test and both passed fine, I have had 0 problems since doing this as well.
