Hello Guys, I purchase my MacBook Pro 13-inch with 2-gigs of ram back in November. A couple of days later, I purchased additional ram for about 25 dollars from the web.
I upgraded the ram, myself; it was one of the most tedious tasks I've ever performed. I have never seen such small screws in my lifetime. The first time I re-assembled the MacBook, I discovered that I had inadvertently unplugged the cable that is responsible for the battery level meter that is located on the front left of the machine. So, angry at my carelessness, I had to remove the back panel of the Pro, again, to connect the cable. For those of you who may not know, there is a small almost recessed button located on the front end of the Pro that, when pressed, provides an indication of the battery level by displaying a series of lights. I do not look forward to ever having to remove that back panel ever again.

The screws are the smallest I've ever seen, outside of a watch. And, they're cheaply made, so easy to strip. The idea of stripping a screw and having to drill it out of the aluminum is worrisome.

DO NOT! purchase it from Apple. It can be had for cheaper, elsewhere.

You can do a search on the internet and find out even though it is max out it might still support more ram. Just that Apple might not say it can take more. Also if running a hard drive that is les than 7200 this might help to. But this would be the last thing I would do. I would look at the ram first.
