Hi all,
Thanks in advance for your help. This is my first mac and laptop upgrade so a little unsure on some things. I am planning on upgrading the follow macbook, 2.66GHz MacBook Pro (MC373LL/A) which you can google for all the specs.
I am going to start by removing the optical drive and replacing it with a OWC data doubler and fitting a Samsung 840 EVO 1TB in it. As far as I know there should be no problems with that but let me know if there is.
Then I plan on replacing the 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 with Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz SDRAM. This is where I become a little unsure on if the new RAM is going to be compatible with it, I don't see why it wouldn't be since they are both DDR3 SDRAM, but I want to be certain.
Finally, I wondered if the screw driver set I have linked at the bottom of this thread along with everything else I intend on buying contains everything I need to complete this upgrade?
Please let me know if you notice anything wrong here.
