btw how's crucial compared to kingston and other brand?

Typically the answers are OWC, New Egg, Amazon, Crucial

New Egg has the Scorpio Blue for $89

Amazon has the same drive for $100

Shop around a little and save a few $$$$$

Edit: Crucial is one of the brand preferred here on MR by the users

Apple charges a *premium* for their memory
You are always better off with 3rd party memory

Crucial or OWC is probably your best bet in that regard
