DDR3 Memory Upgrade

They say it's around 24$ of rebate for the DDR3 2x1GB Rams modules. Too bad that I want to keep them if anything goes wrong.

So it mean if I trade in, the 2x2 modules would cost ~55$! That's a great deal!
 
8 gig DDR3 upgrade

Is it possible to upgrade to 8 gigs of ram on the montevina chipset in the new unibody macbook? I was at ifixit.com and the say that it appears that is possible on this chipset upgrade? Anybody have any insight on this?

8GB makes the laptop do bad things from what I hear. 6GB is the max functionally supported at this point.

not sure if you've had a look at the price of 8gig (2x4sticks)... I'd get 4gig now, and then upgrade later if its possible to 6/8.
 
I did not want to start up another thread on DDR3 ram, so I'd like to know where I could pick up a 4GB stick for cheap.

I'd like a reputable brand as well.
 
I bought 4GB (2x2) of DD3 from crucial on saturday and they just shipped it today(thurs) after being "ready to ship" since Sunday. I emailed them and they still haven't emailed me back. I called them to see if I can find up what's holding my order and they said it was a 30 min wait. After 30 mins, still no call so hung up and tried to do the online chat they have on their website and after 20 mins, still no rep available so I closed the window.

Just my experience from their "customer service".
 
these are some darn good prices. I just dont know if i should go with crucial since they are a MORE trusted brand,atleast in the circles.
 
Go with Crucial, since they manufacture their memory themselves, and have proven over the years to be the most reliable. NEVER buy memory from Apple. Not only does Apple overcharge (sometimes by 2x to 3x the price), but they also keep the stock memory that was to originally come with the computer. Some people choose to sell their stock memory on eBay, but that's not possible when Apple keeps it.

Apple has historically gouged their customers when it came to memory.
 
I bought crucial memories for about $100 two weeks ago and now $80?
should I return and buy it again?
