So where have you guys found good deals on the 2x2Gb RAM? I'm *this close* to getting a blackbook and I want to upgrade right away. Thanks for the help!
Got a tip for us?

Awesome -thanks guys but one question: Could I just buy 2 of the 2Gb sticks, it's cheaper that way for some reason. There's some listed as $134.99 for the 4Gb (2x2) or one single 2Gb stick for $58.99 x 2 = $117.98 and there's a free 1Gb USB key included. Not half bad...
Hi, I am wondering if anyone bought this ram from buy.com for their macbook? i am not sure if this is compatible, can anybody confirm?
Thank you.

Umm did you read the description??? "2GB PC2-5300 667MHZ 200-Pin SODIMM DDR2" Yes it is compatible...
Quick question to anybody..
Are all 667MHZ 200-Pin SODIMM DDR2 Ram compatible with Macbook Pro's?
Transcend's own online store has their ram for cheaper than newegg ($59.90 each + shipping):

And it's micron chips...
I just ordered 2 x 2GB, should get here in a few days 😀

Yes, that was the point of my post above. Apple doesn't use some 'special' RAM... That is for the NEW Santa Rosa MBP's, although the older ones it should be fine too even though IIRC it is 533Mhz.

How come some RAM Brands cost extra because its "Mac Compatible" RAM?
Even though its the same specs.
People would save much more money if they just bought the regular one right?
used to be $200 upgrade...for 4gb.. i guess now is around $100.. i guess its time to pull the trigger!!!

Yes, but can you confirm that all 667 MHz SDRAM will work with all Intel iMacs and MacBooks, regardless of whether it is listed as "Mac compatible"?

I bought transcend through newegg 2x 2 gig chips and it is great. I have never had an issue with their ram.
Here is some good RAM with micron memory chips. Works well in my MBP, and only $115 shipped!

I ordered 2X2GB Kingston sticks from Buy.com the other day. I was planning on waiting until next (Black) Friday, but I just couldn't pass up 4GB for $96, including shipping. Order should arrive next week, and, although these should definitely work, I will report back for anyone still concerned. Looking forward to quadrupling my RAM!

Of course not. "All" would encompass brands that are out of spec., and brands that have heatspreaders on them (bad for MacBooks and iMacs).

Thats some good pricing, $127.99 for 2x2gb

$700???
Why does Apple charge $700 to upgrade a Macbook Pro from 2GB to 4GB? I'm looking in the back of Laptop Magazine, and even Mac Authorized dealers do it for $300. Isn't that kinda silly?
