So I learned a little thing about Macs. When you get a back, order the least amount of memory possible from the Apple store because they overcharge by a lot. So I overpaid, and then got a good price to max out at new egg.
When I installed the hardware, I dropped a couple of the laptop screws, which I spent 10 minutes looking for. These screws are literally the size of a spec of dirt.
After the RAM is installed, I booted from a Ununtu CD and ran the memory test.
The more RAM, the better everything works. TADA
