MacBook and RAM

[jcandrada]

I'm going to buy a new MacBook, and as a far as I know, buying more RAM from Apple is not a good alternative... What are the best places to buy RAM online for the MacBook??

I swear by Crucial (which is better then swearing at it), but I went with OWC on my MBP and it's just as good.

I've got this RAM in both my 2.33 MBP and 2.1 MB:

Plus, do you need more RAM? For average usage, 2GB is more than sufficient. Are you planning to use memory intensive programs?

I usually use many (and many!) applications at the same time. I've been a mac user for more than 20 years (Apple Plus, LCII, Performa 3600CD, Powerbook 3400c, iBook G3, iMac G4, iMac Core Duo, 2 MacBooks) and I know that RAM DOES make a difference. By the way, all my Macs are still running without problems (except the iMac Core Duo that have GPU problems), even the Apple Plus! It's like a little nice mac museum.
