Specific Apple RAM Needed For MacBook Pro 15"?

[rekhyt]

I'm thinking about upgrading my RAM to 4GB from 2GB and went browsing on Amazon to see what I should get.

I searched Kingston and found this: http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Modu...4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1271476807&sr=8-4

Does this mean that you have to buy a specific Apple-verified RAM for upgrading your MacBook/Pro?

Thanks in advance,

No. You just need memory of the right type/speed/etc. Apple doesn't even make the ram shipped in their computers. It's just normal third-party memory with an Apple logo in one corner of the sticker.

What would be a memory of the right type/speed?

For a brand new one? 1066MHz DDR3

Thanks again for your quick reply-I found that too. I'll be looking to purchase two sticks of RAM soon. 🙂
