Hey all, I just picked up the base Macbook Pro yesterday and it's fantastic! I'm looking to upgrade the 2gb ram to its "official" max of 4. I need all I can get as I will be running VMware a large portion of the time.

If you could, please take a look at the following links and tell me which is better (and make sure they're right!). I'm open to other suggestions as well (make, capacity, etc)

Thanks!
 
i personally like kingston, however is a bit more expensive, if $30 is not a big deal this is my recommendation:

otherwise go for crucial which is the cheapest I've seen, also I have not idea if the Mushin is good or not.

BTW on my MBP (NOT UNIBODY, DDR2) I bought first 4GB crucial ram, and it did not feel any faster than 2GB ram, however I later bought another 4GB but kingston (5ms latency) and it felt faster (DDR3 latency is higher so dont even try to get 5ms) so i'd buy kingston...
