The early 2008 MacBook Pro OWC memory card upgrade

I have a question about the purchase of an upgrade with OWC memory cards. I need to upgrade my Mac Book Pro early 2008 edition. Is that what I should get the full package of 6 GB with 2 GB and 4 GB included? Or just buy a 4 GB card and add it to my 2 GB card already existing in the laptop? I just want to know if it makes a difference when the two cards of different manufacturers! Compatibility and everything... Anyone know or have a technical view on this subject. Thank you.

When I upgraded my 2007 iMac which had originally 4GB, 2 GB DIMM in each slot, I just bought a single 4GB DIMM OWC.

  • The display on my 2008 Macbook Pro went dark. Can I connect to a Mac monitor no?

    View on 2008 MacBook Pro has been dark. I can connect the computer to a Mac monitor no?

    Sure. If the computer problem, it is with the LCD screen or the backlight, you should be able to use it plugged in the external display. If the problem is with the graphics card will not help the external display. Your computer requires a dongle to connect to the screen and you must get the correct key for display - VGA or DVI. Determine what type of port the display and buy the appropriate mini-Display dongle

  • 8 GB DIMM modules for early 2008 Mac Pro

    I see that OWC is now selling the 8 GB DIMMs for early 2008 Mac Pro (8-core, 3.2 GHz). This leads to the potential total RAM up to 64 GB.

    Anyone has any experience of the use of these, or potential problems?

    Thank you!

    I would call OWC and ask them. I remember not only here posts on this topic.

    However. I myself would buy a chance 2009-2012 in the place and level it. These Mac Pro are the most capable and reliable and 8 GB sticks are 1/3 of the cost of those of 2008.
