I want to upgrade ram for my macbook pro, Organizer World is the nearest shop, it's got Amicroe 2GB for $49 AUD, I'm not sure whether the brand is good or not, I heard that Corsair is what Apple uses, but if Amicroe is not that bad I'll go for it.

Thanks!
 
May be more expensive than you want, I don't know. But I've been buying ram from http://www.ramjet.com for more than ten years, starting from when I was in college, and I could drive over to their facility and pick up my order in person. It won't let you down.
 
Thanks very much for your suggestions, I just bought 2x2GB amicroe ram, so far so good, the only problem I found is that in system profile, in the memory section, it shows ECC is disabled, I don't know what it is, I'm not sure if it should be disabled or the ram has problem:

Memory Slots:

ECC: Disabled

BANK 0/DIMM0:

Size: 2 GB
Type: DDR3
Speed: 1067 MHz
Status: OK
Manufacturer: 0x8551
Part Number: 0x494D5348324753313341314631432D313046
Serial Number: 0x2A05CF15

Its ok, as long as you Mac detect the memory, it doesnt matter.

RAM is RAM nothing to do with performance

Wrong but in this case it's fine because ECC is just error correction, something that shouldn't be terribly important in a home-use machine.
