The RAM specifications are cleverly hidden on the MacBook Pro's tech spec page.

Not PC2, that's DDR2 memory. These use DDR3, and according to Crucial:

it's PC3-8500 for both the 2.53 and 2.8 models.

DDR3 RAM is expensive right now.

Most reasonable upgrade apple has offered in my opinion. 2x2GB of DDR3 is expensive. You could find it cheaper though.

The upgrade is not too bad actually. DDR3 is very expensive. Man, I am really leaning towards the 2.53 option now. It actually doesn't sound so bad relatively speaking.

Coming from someone who once spent $649 for 16mb of RAM for my PowerPC 9600/350MHz back in 1996... $140 to MAX out the RAM seems pretty good to me. But I'll be there will be cheaper prices hitting the market very soon....
