I mentioned in an earlier post that I had purchased 2x2GB from Play.com for £55.97. It arrived yesterday and I can confirm it is KTA
Got a tip for us?

How is the performance of the KTA ones in relation to Crucial's? (if you have used Crucial before, ofcourse).
And in general, how do you feel about it having used your new RAM. Any complaints, cons to buying from play, seeing its the cheapest out there atm?
I have bought numerous items over the years from Play and can recommend them.
As for the ram it is still sitting in their packages as my new MacBook has not arrived yet. I have an iMac I am still using that I have sold, but not tried the ram in that as it has 3gb in it.
I wont be able to compare the ram in the MB when I get it as I will have nothing to compare it to I'm afraid. One plus is it is not KVA (Kingston Value Ram) it is KTA.

Just did my daily check and my euro's are gone ...
In fact what sux for crucial is that they know you are a returning customer and charge more than when you do not yet appear in their database. I made my last order twice because of an error and got a lower price for the second order that I made on another computer. Luckily for me they charged the second one.

Hi acearchie
I can order the Kingston KTA-MB667/2G from here for around £ 50.00 each
and 4-8 weeks delivery, but looking at the UK for around £ 30.00 so as I need Two then getting them from the UK would save around £ 40.00 and I would feel safer getting them from the Uk .
Thanks...

Tried play.com?
I'm in Taiwan right now and just started selling some Transcend PC2-5300 SO-DIMM RAM on ebay... I just upgraded my MBP to 4Gb and can attest to the quality. Probably quicker to get to Thailand if that helps you or anyone else looking for MBP Ram:

Just to let everyone know, I bought the 2, 2GB sticks and with delivery came to £53.52. The memory has no problems and runs like a champ in my MacBook.
Will 800MHz SO-DIMMs work in current Macbooks and Macbook Pros? If so this seems like a better investment with future updates to these laptops likely to use this faster RAM.
From my experiance I would think no but you will have to get someone else to clarify this as I am not 100% sure!
Not worth it.
1. As said above, they may not work in your current laptop.
2. By the time you get a new laptop, faster, bigger ram WILL be cheaper. Much cheaper.
3. You're gambling on what platform future Apple laptops will use. There's no certainties there.
Montevina is coming out in a few months, and that's Intel's new platform, with the Penryn chip and new laptop motherboard, and it uses DDR3-800 ram. DDR3 won't be much faster (at first) but it uses less power. Your new DDR2 ram won't work on a DDR3 platform.
Buy the ram that suits what you have now, and leave it there.
Including delivery? play.com's Kingston (non-value) 2GB Ram is now £33 inc VAT with free delivery so if not, it's still the better deal even though the price has gone up!
