Currently I have a Macbook 2.0ghz Intel core duo with only the original 512 MB RAM, BUS speed 667Mhz. I am looking to upgrade my memory as I would like to speed things up as it has been slowing as of late. It works fine as far as the sytem goes and I really do not have any trouble with anything just looking to add some more memory. Now the question I have been looking for Memory and obviously from apple it's a bit pricey, but when I look otherplaces it just gets to damn confusing. Can anyone please recommend a site that is worthy of ordering from and also I am unsure of the exact RAM that I should be ordering I have 2 slots up to 2GB. What are the proper requirements I should look for?

Thanks
 
You may find [guide]Understanding Intel Mac RAM[/guide] useful.

But the other posts are sensible, except that its not PCS-5300 its PC2-5300 or PC-5300 (they are the same).

You also need a 200 pin SODIMM rather than a 240 pin DIMM.
 
I just bought my ram from crucial.com. Its great ram, great value and a well-known company, therefore you getting great support in case anything goes wrong. I bought a 2GB stick for 75$ + free shipping. I highly recommend it. If you want from other brands and cheaper, visit macsales.com or macmall.com. They offer great ram sticks as well.
 
under my system profile it says DDR2 SDRAM, but you guys have mentioned SODIMM whats the difference?

SO-DIMM is for notebook memory

SDRAM is synchronous dynamic random access memory which is what all desktop's and notebooks pretty much use today
