How to upgrade to 8GB ram?

[ApoorvPrem]

Hey People!

I got my new Macbook Pro (13-inch 2.4Ghz i5) a few days back. I wanted to upgrade it's ram to 8GB since I heard that it improves VRAM also (I m a casual gamer but sometimes I do play some hardware intensive games.) When I went to the Apple Reseller ( No Apple store in India) , they told it would cost me Rs 8900 (164$ )> . Now that was too much. But I was going throught some of the threads and found that the upgrade is possible even at one third the price!!!
Now I want to know...
1. Where to buy the RAM module from? Would net shopping sites be okay? I live in India btw. My range is 2000 rupees(Around 37$).
2. For a 13-inch base model the RAM speed is 1337 mhz right?
3. Can I do it myself? Instructions are given in the manual but it requires some specific type of screw driver.!
4. Will it hinder the battery life in a anyway?

Thank You in advance

1. I don't know. Any electronics (online) shop should sell it
2. 1333 MHz PC-10600 SO-DIMM
3. Yes, it's very easy. The proper size of screwdriver is a Phillips #00, although any fine Phillipshead will do.
4. No

Should this one do the trick?
