Crucial is one of the best RAM manufacturers out there. 🙂

I've been buying Crucial RAM for years - both for personal use and on behalf of work. They're the direct sales arm of Micron, who manufacture RAM for supply to Apple, HP, Dell and a number of other large computer manufacturers.

The best aspect of using Crucial is that they guarantee that the RAM you buy will be compatible with your hardware - provided you use their configuration wizard.

One of the best suppliers out there...

Speed?

I have been thinking of doing the same thing for my Macbook pro 2.2ghz, but I am wondering if it is really worth it. How much faster will it be, and will I only see the benefits when doing high end video and photo editing?

Who makes the OWC house brand RAM? They also sell name brands, but the OWC brand is less expensive. However, I want to go with either Crucial or OEM (i.e. Samsung).

It will make a difference if your Page Outs are close to or higher than your Page Ins (check Activity monitor->System Memory) 🙂

I can vouch for crucial, they're great. Shipping is fast and it also has a good warranty. Never had any problems with it.

With all that good press, who could argue!

If you want to price compare, the biggies among the folks here seem to be: datamem, edge, crucial, newegg, and OWC.

Always look for a compatibility guarantee and a lifetime-against-defects guarantee, then go price-based shopping!
