In my macbook I have 2 x 2gb of ram. I understand I can upgrade to 8gb of ram. I bought 1 x 4gb of ram, can I add this? Or do I need 2 x 2gb of ram instead? basically one 4gb vs. two 2gb.
Is this a good question?

You can add just the one 4GB stick (if it's the correct type), to give you 5 GB.
RAM Type: PC3-10600 DDR3 Min. RAM Speed: 1333 MHz
Standard RAM: 4 GB Maximum RAM: 16 GB*
Details: 4 GB of RAM is installed as two 2 GB modules, no slots free.
*Apple officially supports a maximum of 8 GB of RAM, but third-parties have determined that this model actually is capable of using up to 16 GB of RAM with two 8 GB memory modules.

Thank you. So i have four slots two are filled each with 2gbs leaving me presently with 4gb, so I can add any two correct type of ram in the free slots?
Your system has only 2 memory sockets. So you'll need to remove your current memory modules exchanging them for larger modules.
