Hi,

I'm looking at upgrading my 5.1 Unibody macbook to 4Gig of ram so that I can run Windows 7 64 bit at a decent speed. Currently running Snow Leopard no bother however I need a Windows OS for running Visual Studio and a couple of games.

Any recommendations on where to purchase online? Any stores in Cork where I could buy memory from?

Would be comfortable enough upgrading my old PC but as I'm new to the mac scene I'm a bit more wary of rushing into an upgrade.

Thanks!
Colin

Be sure to get only 4GB RAM. The MacBookPro5,1 model doesn't officially support more memory.
