Ok, I know I must sound painfully clueless to all of you, but I'd really appreciate some answers to my questions. I'll keep it brief.
I'm using a first-gen black MacBook that I bought at the Yorkdale Mac Store in Toronto about a year ago. I was so impressed with how slick it looked and so drunk on the idea of getting my first laptop to take with me to university, that there were certain things that didn't bother me. On the whole I'm still happy with my choice, but one thing that's really getting to me is this machine's performance.
So I need to know:
-It *is* possible to upgrade RAM on my computer, right?
-If so, where can I get this done? Can I just run it over to Future Shop or will it have to be someplace more Apple-friendly?
-How long should I expect it to take?
-Most importantly: cost. My friend just got 2 new RAM sticks in his Dell laptop today (both 1024 mb) and it cost him around 140 bucks after tax. If I were going to purchase the same amount, would it be even more expensive just because it has something to do with an Apple product? (Hey, you never know.)
Sorry if this post made anyone wretch with disgust that a fellow Canadian Mac user could be so clueless, but I gotta know. Thanks very much in advance for any help. Cheers.
