Need Help in Choosing Memory

[borcanm]

Hi there I am planning on upgrading my memory on my MacBook Pro and need advice on the memory.

My current config is:

2.16Ghz Intel Core Duo
1G DDR2 PC5300 667mhz
ATI 1600X
100g HDD

This was purchased in September 2006, and I am planning on buying a 1G memory stick.

I want to know if there is any difference in performance between DDR2 PC 5300 667mhz memory sticks made by different companies, because i have seen a stick for 31$ and one for 79$ the same type of memory, both work for mac, different companies and i don't understand what the difference could be.

Here are links to memory sticks I am considering to buy, but i don't understand what difference can be between them other than the manufacturer. Thank you for your help guys.

Different brands is all. Some brands have a reputation for being more reliable than others. I like to stick to Crucial, Corsair, and OCZ.

More importantly though, are you sure you have a single 1GB DIMM in there and not a pair of 512MB DIMMs? Open up System Profiler and look before you order.

Yep I checked and I only have a 1Gig stick.
