RAM upgrade Part 3

Okay so i am done inserting the module into its exact slot. i boot up the mac, sign the cross and cross my fingers.

well the boot up was fine but my time and date settings went back as far as 1969. that's easy to change. i tried my internet but no i have no connection. the wifi signal icon on the top panel was missing so definitely the airport card was not seated correctly. i opened again the mac and fitted the card until it snug perfectly. powered on and there it is. checking my current memory now shows 1.25 GB. thanks god. i am not that stupid as i thought. :)

well i have to test the loading time of each application and see if upgrading my RAM is the solution. will blog again soon. i have to go buy some foods now.

RAM upgrade Part 2

so here's the memory module i bought from softbox.  it was delivered to me although the delivery boy kind of got lost. i bought a set of screwdrivers as well. 

strontium brand ddr333 pc2700 RAM. this is a singaporean brand based on the manual

this is a 49.50Php screwdrivers set from Handyman store

i was inserting the module to the slot. according to the instruction it had to be 30 degrees slanted. well i tried any angles until i finally managed to get the module in.

RAM upgrade Part 1

i needed to upgrade my RAM. most of the time when i am running multiple applications everything seems to slow down and the waiting time is really frustrating. checking my current version, it shows 256MB. I am not that techie type but i can go around and check what i need. based on apple's site my ram is ddr333 pc2700 sodimm. ok whatever that means. checking the philmug site, some sellers' price for 1G is 3500Php. Holy cow! Anyway i tried to look in tipidpc and saw that pcgilmore store has one. so i went to the store in gilmore st only to find out that it was already out of stock. i was fooled. i called the day before just to be sure but what the heck.

i tried tipidpc again hoping i could find a seller. there was one but he seems not too eager to sell his merchandise for some reason. i let the day pass. last night before i went to sleep i checked again tipidpc and saw a new ad. i texted the contact but heared no reply this morning. i called them and they said the item is available and ready for delivery but they did not get my text last night. i closed the deal and now i have the module. yey... let's see if i can pull this off.
