    • Release the tabs on each side of the RAM chip by simultaneously pushing each tab away from the RAM.

    • These tabs lock the chip in place and releasing them will cause the chip to "pop" up.

    • After the RAM chip has popped up, pull it straight out of its socket.

    • Repeat this process if a second RAM chip is installed.

Step 3

Could not get ram to lock in correctly. Verified twice that it was the correct part but when installed i get a beeping sound on reboot and nothing else. Any suggestions?

Has ANYONE decided to hotrod the ram by upgrading it to 16gig? It says not to do it but doesn't say WHY. And with mine already running an SSD. I want to hot rod this baby as much as possible. I don't mind the 8gig that it has now but I do video work and could use the extra 8gig's.

According to this, the CPUs in the Mid2010 MBP only support up to 8 GB

@Jeffrey no you cant hotrod those macbooks, the only one that can be hotrod in macbook pro range is the mid 2010 13in 2,4ghz duo core which is what i have and 2 minutes ago i have successfully upgraded to 16gb with no problems, yet to try out performance but it will be much better than the 4gbs i had previously.
