Wait, you have 8GB but you want to replace it with 8GB? I'm guessing you mean 4GB to 8GB.
Price wise, it's all pretty cheap. You can get Crucial and OWC 8GB upgrades for $100 or a little less. Crucial is really popular here...I got it myself

yes thats what i mean i have 4 gb and need 8 GB
which ram do i need? it is 240 pin 1333 MHz ? is there a link to that ram.. i don't know the specification if some one can help
I put this in my mid2010 MBP13 a few weeks ago and it's been great: http://www.jr.com/crucial/pe/CRT_8G51264BCK
Edited to add: BTW, when I ordered mine a few weeks back, JR was backordered. I submitted the order anyway, and it was filled in less than a week. At $90 for an 8GB upgrade, don't let it being backordered throw you unless you absolutely cannot wait a few days.

its 2 x 4GB RAM Chips / 1066MHz / 204-pin / SODIMM / Unbuffered / CL = 7 / 1.5V
is that what i need or is it 1333 MHz?
Crucial's website lets you select your computer and tells you what you need. I would trust them over anything else as far as fitment info. IIRC it is DDR3 8500 @ 1066MHz. Also, IIRC, Apple's website shows it as well.
Using 1333MHz is not necessary and there is some debate on how using 'faster' RAM affects the system.
i just installed my crucial 8gb (2x4gb) ram. installation was a breeze. i purchased mine off crucial website. at the time, newegg was sold out. it was only like a buck something more than newegg.
would this ram work with MBP 2010 ?

8 GB is indeed the limit for the new ones. But that doesn't stop me from having 16 Gb fully functioning in my old MBP.
Confused? I have two words for you, and everyone else here: "Capitalisation Matters".
Sorry, couldn't help it.
Similarly, even the very first RAM chips had orders of magnitude more RAM than a mb.

I got 2x4GB 1066 crucial off new egg for only $101.
It was $15 cheaper to buy two separate 4GB modules than to buy the kit that contained 8GB.

See? Capitalisation matters.
millibit (mb) < millibyte (mB) << megabit (Mb) < megabyte (MB)
also Gb < GB.
gb and gB don't exist.
You can get 8gb 1066 or 1333 Super Talent ram for ~70 shipped. They come with micron chips. I ordered the 1066 ram and it works fine on my 2010 13" MBP.
16Gb RAM == 2GB RAM
1 GigaByte (GB) is 8 Gigabits (Gb)
So I guess I got 64Gb of RAM in my MBP

Yay! Finally someone who gets it!!!

They're out of stock now, but check back every so often and they'll have stock in.
I just bought it, my friend put it in his new mac just a few weeks ago and he payed 113 I believe. Its only 93 and amazon is where I buy everything so free 2 day shipping with no tax is always best.
