Upgrading 2 gb ram to 8 gb in a "Vintage" Mac

My Problem

My programs were running too slow since I upgraded to OS 10.10.5. The mail would get hung up and the spinning wheel was constantly on my screen. I installed 8 gb of RAM in my "vintage" macbook pro mid 2009. It was a breeze. Followed all the steps in the repair guide. Was very careful and took my time and everything went fine. Now the programs are opening in record time and mail is coming and going faster than jet planes. Before the upgrade from 2 gb to 8 gb. The mail was sending at carrier pigeon speeds. I did make sure to read through the repair guide on the website to see what tools I would need and that helped emensely. I did also order the screw driver and sprudger to open the back and seperate the power from the battery.

My Fix

Repair/Replacement went very well.

My Advice

Take your time, read the directions first and get the right parts.
