Need Help Before I Order RAM

[tardman91]

Is this the right kind for a 13.3" 2.26ghz MacBook Pro? I'm new to Apple computers and I just want to confirm that this is the right RAM to up my computer to 4gb. Thanks!

Also, is this good RAM? I've seen the name on the boards. Is there another kind that is better for any reason?

Yes but really? Mushkin?
For a mere $13 more I'd get something that you know would work. http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=617B82A2A5CA7304

Apple, while the specs are the same, seem to be finicky about their ram. Use a **** ram and sometimes the results are bad.

You say you've seen the name on the boards? Was it being discussed in good or bad light?

I was just looking at that. I'd rather spend the $13 and not have to deal with any problems. So Crucial would be a much better option?

Crucial is a great option.

Hey, I'm also shopping around for RAM for my MBP. Has anyone had any experience with A-DATA brand RAM?

EDIT: Forget that. I just bought 4 GB of Crucial RAM for $89.95 on Amazon, here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-CT2KI...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1259358790&sr=8-1

Thanks guys! I just cancelled my order through Crucial and ordered it through Amazon and saved over $30.

That is my point. I know Crucial has been DOA (that is the way electronics go from time to time) but the probability of Apple NOT liking the ram is way way small.

Sweet. I just placed an order, too.

Agreed.
