Where to buy RAM?

[M03]

I'm looking at upgrading my RAM to 4GB.

How difficult will it be to install myself? I cant seem to figure out specifically what type of RAM I need to search for. Also, if you know of any websites (preferably newegg) that sell the RAM I need, please feel free to post.

My computer specs are in my signature.

• Apple does not manufacture RAM and charges more than you would pay with other reputable RAM providers.
• Some great sources for Mac-compatible RAM are OWC, Crucial and newegg.com.
• Installation of user-installable parts such as RAM does not void the Apple Warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan, unless you damage something in the process.

• iMac: How to remove or install memory
• Mac mini: How to remove or install memory

You can find specs on all Apple products, including maximum RAM:

• By visiting EveryMac.com: Actual Maximum RAM
• By selecting your model on the Crucial Memory Advisor™ Tool to find RAM information
• By using Mactracker
• By entering your serial number here to find specs for your model.
  (Be aware that some models can use more RAM than Apple shows. Check EveryMac to verify actual usable RAM.)

You can use Newegg. They're mentioned in many threads on RAM upgrades in this very subforum.

what model of macbook do you have? from your sig it looks like probably a 2008 macbook? you may as well upgrade to 8gb if you can. the price difference between 4 and 8 is barely anything now. just make sure your model supports it.
