What's the best place besides Apple (too expensive) to buy memory for Macbook Pro?
Processor: 2.33 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAMThanks!

Also, how do i find out if i have 200-Pin or 240-Pin
Any recommendations on brands?
Thanks!

Just noticed i have 2 memory chips currently installed each 1GB. If i get a 2GB chip, is it going to work with another 1Gb i currently have, or do i have to get 2 same ones?

Johndiggity,
in online stores it says SO-DIMM for 200-Pin. But in my settings it says SDRAM. Are they going to work together? Will this SO-DIMM work on my machine? Should i just get 4GB(2 and 2) of the same stuff?

You are better off just getting two new 2 gig (or 4 gig id you want) sticks. If they match you'll see better performance.

One last question... can i actually get DDR 800 instead of 667? Will it work on my system?
- arsyusha0
Shit.. here it says that the maximum is only 3GB.

I have 4 gigs in mine (2.4 GHz , about a year old)
- mine is 2.33... called apple and they told me 3GB is max. That sucks.arsyusha

maybe 4 years ago, I asked the same question, and (then) a newstoday user (artdirector) told me to get it from crucial ram
I have only bought ram from them since then (on at least 3 laptops) way cheaper than apple, and same quality.
- it has a system that will tell you what ram will work on your computerMeeklo

Meeklo,
Thanks!I changed my mind last second because of you and saved $20 :)
I was about to order from newegg, but then compared the prices and realized that Crucial's delivery is way cheaper. So, the total was $46.44 for 2GB and it should arrive on Tuesday by 4PM :)
That's really cheap. Thanks all! I know i've asked a ton of questions here. Good that i checked what my maximum was.
- I will always be thankful to artdirector, where ever he might be.. thanks!Meeklo

I know a few people on windows who have went out and got 4, 6 or 8gb of ram then call me to ask why it's only showing 3g installed. You need an x64 OS to run more than 3gb of ram on windows.
- windows? i don't have windows.arsyusha
