Where can I get good deals on memory?

[macswitcha2]

I want to increase memory/Ram on my macs. Where are the best deal?

I have a 2008 iMac that I believe can go to 6 GB of memory and currently my macbook has 4GB of Ram and wonder how high I can get to.

Any way, I will appreciate some insights.

OWC is probably the best place but NewEgg may be a bit cheaper but you must know what you're buying

How much RAM do you have in your iMac? When was it bought in 2008? If you have 4GB (2x2GB), then all you need is a single 4GB module.

What MacBook do you have?

I have a late 2008 iMac with 4GB and a late 2008 macbook with 4 GB.

RAM for MacBook (it can take 6GB but some people have got 8GB to work but I'd stick with 6GB)

RAM for iMac

THANKS FOR THE LINKS. so what you're saying is that the macbook I have with 4GB can have an additional 4GB or 2GB? Same with my iMac?

Both can take 6GB of RAM. As they currently have 2x2GB, you need 1x4GB to make it 6GB.

Some people have had luck with 8GB in MacBook but I would stick with 6GB so it won't cause any extra hassle (if it doesn't work, you need to send the modules back etc).
