i just got my blackbook from fedex today and immediately inspected it and then swapped out the ram for 2 gigs of g.skill.... and its runnin fast as lightning i love it. ordered it 3 days ago and got free 3 day shipping, been working out great so far (haha even though i've only had it a few hours)
Their Optival ram is way cheap $70.99 I'm almost ready to pull the trigger. I've seen reviews that are very positive and some negative reviews. The price almost makes it work jumping on it though. I wonder if the hyper ram is worth the extra cost though.
Bunch of marketing blather. "Hyperformance" this and "highest possible speed" that...
know this, that any RAM that is 100% compatible with a Mac, will run at EXACTLY the same speed as every other 100% compatible module in that Mac, because the Mac sets the speed, not the RAM. No Mac that I am aware of thus far implement any kind of overclocking or automatic (or adjustable) latency reduction. So for me, claims of superior speed or performance signal a less than forthright seller.

PS: A good seller covers shipping both ways on a DOA purchase.
I just, today, got my first Mac - a 17" Macbook Pro with 2GB of memory. If this was a PC I would know exactly what to do, but its not so I need some help. If I buy this ram will it boost me up to 3gb or do I need to get a 2gb stick to replace a 1gb stick in my system. It is a stock system from apple. I appreciate the help.
