Now I went to install snow leopard and HERE IS THE PROBLEM: Once my power supply, battery and RAM arrive I installed it and boot it up to find I have a snow leopard install disk in the optical drive my boss left me as well. Followed by properly preparing a USB boot drive with snow leopard on it. So I immediately purchased a power supply, battery, and the 2 GB, Max RAM for this machine.īefore it all arrived in the mail, I installed the optical drive and hard drive. I just prefer to say as much now so I answer least questions later. But compared to the 25 MB/s or so of 5400rpm HDD which I'm used to this will be nice. 300 MB/s write speed is fine I imagine since I will max-out/bottleneck at 130 MB/s or so anyhow. ![]() I don't need the best one because granted this generation MBP has SATA I-1.5Gbit/s so it won't take advantage of the SATA III- 6Gbit/s the SSD has. So first thing I did spur of the moment was buy a "SanDisk SSD Plus" 240gb I saw in Best Buy. ![]() ![]() It came with no hard drive and the optical "SuperDrive" was removed as was the RAM. I can see evidence of the battery expansion from slight damage on the lower case near where it closes. My boss didn't want it and my wife wanted a Mac just to do simple school work on and I wanted one because I am a geek. (My main computer is a Vaio Laptop and I have a desk external HDD.) I am posting because I was gifted a MacBook Pro 2006 non-unibody A1150 Core Duo 1.86 (not a Core 2 Duo).
