MBP 13 in memory

[chippy chuke]

I am going to buy a new macbook pro 13 inch. I am getting the 2.26 model and updating the memory. I was curious as to which memory I could get and if the apple store would put it in the third party RAM for me when i go to buy the computer. The question is can I put in ddr3 1333 or will it only work with ddr3 1066?

From what I've heard, no they will not install the RAM for you. It's really easy to do. You don't need to have anyone do it for you. Use 1066MHz DDR3 SODIMMs and not 1333MHz. The 1333Mhz might boot up, it might not. Even if it does, its underclocked to 1066MHz.

Buy this and either install it yourself or have a buddy do it, it's super easy:

Sweet, that's what I have in my MBP. It's cheap, it works, it's 4GB, and hell it's even a brand name, you can't really ask for much more.

I saw these on a taiwanese forum, apparently 1333 works on a 2.26 MBP:
