They even said the 2 gig ram going to cost me about RM 1700 - 1800 (800-900 each gig). Which comes to my suprise that kingston also selling those (what they so called custom made ram) PC2-5300 for RM430 each at lowyat. And keep argueing that those ram from lowyat will damage the machine.
Well... he sorta like commented that I didn't do my research b4 visiting them.
At some point, I feel I'm abit offended here.
The ram they were talking about is the exact ram that we are using in our pentium M processors laptop at the moment. And it's the exact ram that we are using for the latest duo core pc laptops. how come it's not compatible with macbook pro?? they are selling it for higher price. i'm ok with it. but wtf they wanna make it sounds like going to void the warranty (that's exactly what he said). I read it from somewhere that mac laptops ram is self-serviceable since a few years ago. I guess our local Mac asia is misleading our local mac users.

I understand how the feeling being treated like that, If I were you I will do the same too. Anyway, what they said about the RAM is right. As an user of PowerBook for the past 3 years, I noticed that the PowerBook really picky about the RAM. I had once bought 1GB RAM stick (50% lower price than Apple RAM) from Low Yat years ago with the same specification as stated in the booklet of my PowerBook but it lead to my computer crashed and blue screen syndrome. It doesn't mean that the Kingston PC2-5300 from Low Yat on par with the Kingston from Apple. I would suggest as Apple products are superior than it PC counterparts, by investing in Apple RAM it does save your investment in the long run and thats why i just bought 2GB Ram for My Intel Imac. (RM899 each) or perhaps you can bring your would-be MacBook to Low Yat to test with the RAM before you buy any.
