RAM upgrade

[MacTH]

I am a Mac user in Norway looking to upgrade my RAM.
I have a Macbook pro 2.16 intel core 2 duo with 2GB 667mhz ddr2 sdram.

Max usage is 3GB so what is the best RAM option for best effecency?

How does Corsair MAC Memory PC5300 DDR2 4GB KIT, SO-DIMM 200pin , CL4, 667mhz, 2GB+2GB rank compared to other recamended brands like Crucial?

Does the RAM have to say MAC Memory or will any PC5300 DDR2 SO-DIMM 200pin 667mhz do?

What`s best buffered or non buffered?

Crucial and OWC are well known and trusted. I would consider them only. The price difference is negligable between other suppliers.

Thanks, but forgott to ask this:

Most PC2-5300 SO-DIMM RAM will work but you should buy it from someone that will either guarantee that it will work with a MBP or that will accept returns if it doesn't.

Why are you getting another 4gbs when you already have 2gbs? If you have 2 sticks of 1gb then just get a single 2gb stick for a total of 3gbs in the 2 slots, if you have 1 stick of 2gbs then just a 1gb stick.

Go to http://www.macsales.com - I know that doesn't 100% answer your question, but for one its really cheap. Then also, they help you pick out which ram will work for your computer.

Because from what I`ve read it works best without problems when using 2 equal RAM sticks installed. 2+1 will be less fast and more prone to problems.
