MacBook Pro (2010) RAM

[Glacius]

Just a quick question, guys. I was planning to get 2x4GB RAM very soon for my 2010 13" MacBook Pro, and I was wondering if there are going to be any downfalls or cons if I over to overload it with that excessive.. power.

And I've read on some few sites stating that this is the best deal so far (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001PS9UKW) to get those RAMs, but it's Amazon, and shipping will cost quite a bit.

So, I was wondering about being aware of the following:

1) Type of manufacturer
2) Heating up issues?
3) Shortening battery lifespan without charge for short mobile usage?
4) Best place to get these RAMs in Australia?

Thanks guys.

1. Go with Crucial, Gskill, or anything OWC sells. You might find a better deal than your link on Newegg.
2. No
3. No

Cool guys, thanks for the input!

NZed: They do? I usually drop by this newsagent around my area and they don't do Mac magazines. only Power PC, PC Authority and other stuff. Maybe I didn't pay close attention to OWC as well? I'll have another look.. I'll be using MacFixit to order my parts for the moment (until I find a cheaper source?)
