I think I found the cheap 4 gig DDR3 RAM Price?

eBay has four gigs for forty bucks if you look. Unless the link you provided is a specific brand or type or something.

Let me know. I'm on the market for four gigs too.

yeah but with apple they keep your 2GB set. with this one you get to keep it in case anything ever goes wrong.
 
just for some people that may get confused. the DDR3 is the only ram you can use in the new macbooks/MBPs

so thats why its more expensive than the DDR2.

continue with thread...:D
 
Looks like all you guys are looking at DDR3...not DDR2.

My mistake, my bad.

I'm planning on using the cashback discount too when i make my 4GB purchase..

..Wondering though, what's the difference between DDR3 & 2?

I'm assuming you guys have the new Macbook then, yes?

Yes, but you need to send in your original memory to get the OWC rebate. If the sticks they send you don't play well with your MB, you're stuck waiting for replacements. With the MS Live cashback on eBay, you may have to wait for your reimbursement, but at least you'll be able to keep your original memory in case something goes wrong.

That's the same seller/item I posted above. It's DD3 and will only work with the new unibodies.

Lower power consumption, higher bandwidth, faster bus speed.
 
As I've already said, that's the link for the same seller/RAM i posted above. It will work in the new unibodies.

DDR3 and DDR2 are completely different memory modules, DDR3 in theory being faster, but it comes at a higher price. You HAVE to get the module which came with your machine, and unless you bought one of the new MB or MBP's (i.e. not the white MB or 17" MBP) you have to buy DDR3, otherwise its DDR2.
