This is your machine: I have changed the repair icon to help you get there. Apple MacBook “Core 2 Duo” 2.13 13" (White-09) Specs Identifiers: Mid-2009 - MC240LL/A - ‘’++MacBook5,2++’’ - ‘’++A1181++’’ - ‘’++2330++’’ https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbo… Standard RAM:2 GB Maximum RAM:6 GB* RAM Type:PC2-6400 DDR2Min. RAM Speed:800 MHz Details:2 GB of RAM is installed as two 1 GB modules, no slots free. Apple officially supports a maximum of 4 GB of RAM but third-parties have been able to upgrade the system to 6 GB of RAM using one 2 GB and one 4 GB memory module. Storage Interface:Serial ATA (3 Gb/s) Pre-Installed MacOS:X 10.5.7Maximum MacOS:X 10.11.x This is an SATA II, so your hard drive upgrade would need to be backward compatible. An SSHD would be fine.

I have a macbook 1181 mid 2009 it had 2x2gb ram and it was slow, I went with a ssd and it loaded faster, then I tried 1x 2gb and 1x 4gb 6gb total still was not fast enough then I went to 2x4gb 8gb total big improvement. And I am run High Sierra and downloaded NVIDIA GPU Boost 2.0 which boosts graphics performance and Geforse now which uses NVIDIA cloud graphics.
