Hi pkphilip
I have a macbook and the model is MB062LL/A.
I am just wondering how much does it cost to upgrade it from 1gb ram to 2 gb?

And is this macbook easy to get hot normally? because everytime I played any video(even though those online ones like youtube), it would get pretty hot and the fan would get so noisy

thanks

Hi Philip,
My mac was about 65 -69 while I was watching any videos and the fan's rpm was bout 5xxx to 6xxx.
Is that normal?

I browsed thru some DIY videos online about upgrading rams on macbook and it's much easier than I thought.
So, I am gonna DIY it
But just one more question,
Is OCZ value series any good to macbook? becaues ncix is having the 2gb ones on sale and I may wanna upgrade it to 4gb.
If I only install ONE 2GB ram now and will it be easy to find the same module again in the future so that I can upgrade it to 4GB?

Thanks~

Average Intel C2D Mac temp is about 61-70, the fan would starts to kick in when the temp over 65C. The fan speed is running at full, does it run over 5k RPM constantly? It should be running about 2k ...

it's normal if the fan is running at full speed while loading some heavy application like parallel. But what bothering me is that it easily gets hot and runs over 5K RPM  while I am watching videos like even on youtube. It would keep running at high speed until I stop watching. I don't expect that loading any video clips will bring so much heat to the macbook. So, I am just wondering if that's normal for macbook or any other laptops or it only happens on my macbook. And it works fine for other things , like even I opened 7-8 different applications I wouldn't notice any noise from the fan.

And you got me right, the only reason I want to upgrade to 4gb ram is parallel(and may be also the sale of the 2gb ram in NCIX). Even though I don't use it that much or that often, I just feel more convenient if I can run some window application on my mac sometimes.
