Anyone know of a place that sells 2Gigs of memory for pretty cheap?

Crucial - CT541093 - $356
Kingston - KTA-MB667/2G - $780 (off web site)
Apple - $350


These are prices using there find memory tool. I am sure I can find memory that will work off their site for cheaper. If anyone knows a place that sells these cheaper please let me know

Check out OWC's prices. I just got 2G from them today for $230-ish. I think 18004memory has 2G for $190-ish.

The only problem is that OS X is very picky on memory and I do not feel like having kernal panics or corrupt data. Thanks for the link though

I recently purchased a 2-GB DIMM from otherworlds, which brought my MBP up to 3-GB. I have had no problems...

OWC has a great selection but they are to expensive IMHO. I have purchased all my RAM at newegg.com. They have the best prices on RAM and great customer service.

If you are running LARGE non universal apps like PhotoShop then you will need a min of 1Gig of RAM.
