My girlfriend is getting a new Apple MacBook Pro next month and IĀ“m checking out her options.

First I see is that upgrading the memory from 512mb --> 2Gb is $500 Extra !!
On NewEgg I found similar memory for $160 (2Gb)
ThatĀ“s saving me $340 :)

In similar I mean same size, speeds and voltages.
Here is the MAC memory (http://www.memoryx.net/ma346ga.html)
And here is a similar memory I found (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145012).

What would you recomend?
Get the memory from Apple? or get it myself?

I did work in a computer shop last summer and some Apple people bought some Kingston DDR 400Mhz memory for their G5 desktops and SOME modules just didnĀ“t work for those computers.
But now, these Apple laptops are more intel based... :confused:

get it yourself no question. It will be MUUUUUCH cheaper

and corsair is good and it uses Micron D9 fatbody for some reason ;) not that it will help in a mac laptop as to my knowledge you cant adjust the timings

Yeah it loooks like it will be much cheaper, but is there a certain type of PC2-5300 memory that works and not others?

Like I mentioned from last summer, the standard Kingston PC-3200 memory wasnĀ“t working so the shop ordered some other Kingston type also PC-3200 that worked.

What IĀ“m asking, WILL that Corsair memory work...100% ???
