Yeah with the latest lines of Apple computers the price for 1GB has seriously come down. The 2GB option still costs way too much though. I think Apple realise that 512MB/1GB is now quickly becoming the norm for new computers.
Having said that, if I were to buy a MacBook now I'd get the memory off of eBay, 2 gigs doesn't actually cost that much on there, way cheaper than Crucial.

Yeah but at Datamem you can get 2x1GB sticks for $184 (econoram).
Apple's RAM is still too expensive.

it only has a 1yr warranty rather than their no-econo RAM that has a lifetime warranty.ero87 said:

Once i do my RAM upgrade i plan on giving one of my 256MB sticks to a friend that has a MBP. My MB RAM should work in his MBP, right? I will probably just hold onto the other 256 stick just in case a problem arises.
