What should I do with my original RAM after an upgrade?

macbook-pro memory upgrade

I just upgraded my 13" MacBook Pro (mid-2009) from 2 GB of memory to 8 GB of RAM. What a difference!

I'm wondering what I can/should do with the old sticks.


Solution 1:

Several threads on MacRumors say to keep it for troubleshooting and/or if you need to send it in for warranty service:

  • Upgraded from 2gb to 4gb - what to do with old Memory?
    "2x1GB is worth so little so you're better off keeping it for troubleshooting purposes."
  • What to do with the old memory on the macbook
    "I would hold on to the memory; if you ever need to take it in for service, it's better to have the original memory in it."
    "Keep them for warranty"
  • what can i do with old ram?
    "Apple guidelines are that if you do have 3rd party hardware installed, they won't service it."
