Glad to hear the network problem is solved.
Usually running fast RAM slowly is better than trying to make slow RAM
go fast (overclocking). If you are getting the RAM at the store and
having the Genius folks install it then you should be in good hands
although you'll probably be paying a premium price. A 4GB PC3-8500
1066Mhz 1.5v memory module is about $40-$60 US from newegg.

OK, so here's the scoop regarding my Internet conductivity issue after
upgrading to Mavericks, followed by a memory upgrade question.
Last night, after upgrading to Mavericks I was showing my WiFi connection but
could not connect to the Internet. I tried using Diagnostics and the
Assistant, the latter after having deleted the service and inputting
information manually. No matter what I did, however, I kept getting a
self-assigned IP address.
I called my ISP and they told me to call Apple.
After work, I did so:
1. Because this was an update, the MacBook was using my key-chain to try to
connect, but because the router often changes, the upgraded computer was using
old info, and I needed to clear everything out . . . every network I ever
joined, and start fresh.
2. After selecting and deleting all services and profiles, I added my WiFi
network after finding it in the table of offered networks, putting in the
password, and joining.
It is now working fine.
However, my 13-inch mid-2010 MacBook has only 2GB of memory, and can only be
upgraded to 4. It is running horribly slowly, from applications loading to
response time when typing. There also continue to be some mini-freezes.
The Apple rep told me when I upgrade the memory I will achieve a substantial
difference.
I have a Genus Bar appointment scheduled for tomorrow, at which I originally
believed I would be faced with the decision to replace the battery or get a new
computer. Now I am thinking of getting the memory upgrade and trying that on
for a while.
However, and here comes the question:
According to my MacBook specs, I've got 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. In the Apple store, the
only and only 4 GB memory module listed says "4 GB 1866 MHz DDR3.
Is this doable? If not, what can I do?
Thanks to all for the suggestions and support.
Christine
