upgrade my macbook?

[ViruZ_HUN]

Hello!

 

Okay i know i am right now in to do something cool with my macbook like installing windows on it, I still have not fixed the issue of why i cant burn windows.iso on My DVD but i will find a solution on it.

 

 

So my plan it to buy a new SSHD and new RAM to my macbook

 

Right now i have 250 gb HDD and 2x 1 Gb ram modules

 

And i think my Macbook comes from 2011 or 2010.

 

I am not really sure if my Ram is DDR2 or DDR3`?

 

But i guess its DDR3 becuze its goes on 1067 mhz i think...

 

 

SO if i would upgrade to 500-750 GB HDD and 4-8 gigs of ram which ram shoud i get to it?

 

 

[ViruZ_HUN]

can i do any GPU upgrade?

 

I got a GTX 320m!

No, if you check the bottom of your Macbook it should have the model number.

I think you have to apple RAM. Or at least RAM designed for apple products. It is a macbook, right, laptop.

Post it so we know what model you have since you seem uncertain.

I think on Newegg you can find some RAM for it.  @ViruZ_HUN

Yes you can: http://www.newegg.com/Mac-Memory/SubCategory/ID-551?&cm_sp=Memory17-_-VisNav-_-MacMem

Yes, it will work. Most RAM kits will work at 1600Mhz and CL9 kits will work.

[Deserter15]

I'm fairly sure you can use the ram tester on crucial's website just so you know what kind to get.  http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/MacOS.aspx

[ViruZ_HUN]

Okay i think i choosed my ram which i will buy now i will find a HDD

[ViruZ_HUN]

Any 2x4GB 1066Mhz kit should work perfectly fine.

Oh thx:D

 

Also I have my Macintish on my 250 GB HDD, i am planning to upgrade to 1 TB, so can i on someway just drag and drop from the 250gb HDD tp the 1 TB hdd?

[applebook]

Definitely get an SSD. Your Ram is DDR3. If you're using 10.7 or above, I would replace one of the 1Gb sticks with a 4Gb. OS X has become a big Ram hog. Also, your GPU should be fine for GUI and OS acceleration.

I recommend an SSD instead.

Not really. While it will serve you better to use memory tested to be compatible with Macs, purchasing regular ram should work just as well, just not guaranteed.

cost to much, i dont love apple so much that i spend on a SSD, All i want is bigger HDD becuze my 250 GB HDD is already filled upp with games and programs, and 2 GB ram is not enough for what i am doing, i am planning to have 2 OS on my macbook, windows 7/8 and macintosh HD.....

 

(i am savsing for new "dream" pc untill end of this year,so i dont want to spend that much"

If you have another computer you can plug the two drives in and clone the 250GB one onto the 1TB drive.

That was what i was thinking about:D

 

So i connect my 2 drives into another computer and i drag and drop from the 250 Gb to 1 Tb`?

[applebook]

A 120Gb or smaller SSD is pretty cheap these days. Since this is going to be your secondary machine, why now just use an external HDD for storage as a shared solution?

i msaid 250 GB is not enough for me why would a 120Gb or smaller be enough:D, i get a 1 TB laptop HDD, nuff said,,,

 

External HDD is not good becuze this is basicly a school computer, i got it from school but its ours now. So i want to upgrade it....

You will need to use a disc cloning program. No idea what to use though, you will probably have to make another topic asking what is the best free disc cloning program.
