Hey Guys!
So I have mac that has 2GB memory, and I plan to uprgrade. Problem is that I dont what to get scammed for money, as in our days people do a lot, so I would like to hear what you guys say, what Company memory cards should I chose, and should I update to 4GB, 8GB or 16GB?

When it comes to RAM for Macs, we really don't have that many choices as far as brand. But as far as the size, it would be up to the type of tasks you do on a regular bases.

If you can give a bit more detail about the stuff you do and the Mac model you have would be great/

Crucial has sets of 16gb each for about $79 each. No brainer. . .

In fact these models can take 6GB (4+2). I used to have 6 in my 2007 iMac.
