Apple Macbook or Is it really not necessary?

You may have to take out your current ram to put the 2 new 1gb modules in there.

Chances are you only have 2 slots on your dell motherboard, one with 512mb and the other with 128mb.

Generic memory should be ok for you, it's not like you have a massive cad machine, or server.

Thanks a lot! You've been a great help. Just one more thing: when i replace the memory cards, no information will be lost right? I can just replace the two ram slots and won't loose any information?

You will not lose information. The Hard Drive is the mechanism that holds all your information.

Make sure the PC is off, and when replacing the modules be sure that the notches on the motherboard are matching the notches on the modules.

Don't force them, they should go in easily.

You can buy an Intel dual core PC (same cpu MAC uses) with a massive hard drive and 4gigs of ram for less than $1000.

A mac with those features would probably cost close to $2000 or more in some cases.

It's and interesting alternative if you are on a budget.

GIO, if you have a p4 2.66 you need standard ddr pc2700. That will be just fine in your dell, now you just have to decide how much you want, 512mb 1gb etc.

I've used this before and I can assure you its not even close to the same thing. I absolutely love my macbook pro.

... any substitution is NEVER the same... osx86 is just a substitution for geeks...

bootcamp for Mac is not a random thing, it is a Microsoft product... built by Microsoft to fit in Apple products... (that's what we call partnerships...)

Boot Camp is a product by Apple. Not Microsoft. If you don't believe me... Visit Apple's Website.

As far as I know, Apple doesn't place third party applications under the section dedicated to Mac OS X and it's features on their website.

hum, King, i'm not telling BootCamp is released by... but is developped by... even in the last interview between Gates and Jobs at the D5, they told directly "we worked together on BootCamp to make it sleek and efficient..."

and usually, when Gates say such things, i suppose he know what he is talking about.
