I have looked and researched what RAM to get. I'm pretty sure that my Macbook can handle 3.3gb of RAM.. I got it in August 2007..

My questions is.. would it be better to get one stick of 2GB Ram and keep one stick of my 1 GB RAM? or would it be better to get 2-2GB of matching RAM?

Is there a noticeable difference? and is it worth 20 bucks?

here is the RAM i'm interested in:

Thanks
 
If you've got the core duo, it will only take 2 gigs. A core 2 duo will use 3 and change.

I had a 2.33 c2d MBP, and I put in a 4 gigs and a 7200 rpm hard drive; it made a night and day difference in how it ran.

Yes, you only can use 3 and change of the 4 gigs, but you get a dual channel boost for all of it; it can make a noticeable difference for processor intensive applications, and ddr2 is dirt cheap right now.
