Max RAM UPGRADE!

I did it! I upgraded my Macbook Pro Unibody to 8 gigs of RAM! This maxes it out but the gains are noticeable.



I got it from OWC, ordered it Sunday and it arrived today 3PM. Two hours before the FEDEX estimated time of 5PM. I used priority international mail and paid a total of 5 thousand Philippine Pesos including customs taxes (Yes I pay my taxes).

Before I installed the RAM, my Mac Activity Monitor looked like this:





Several days after Sunday, watching my FEDEX Tracker:


Elna received it for me and the unboxing and installing began!



Had to open the MBP fully for the first time to install these:



Here's my loyal MBP nekid!




That's my 750 gig WD hard drive I installed a few months back.






Popping up the old RAM, installed the new ones, then BAM! Started the computer and got this:


Hurrah! 8 gigs of RAM for my trusty Macbook Pro! Considering I was always borderline using up my old 4 gig upon boot-up, I'm happy that my usual browsing habits not leaves about 4 gigs left to play.

I love tech, and I love tech upgrades!!!
