The ram modules used by MacBook is SO-DIMM DDR2-667 PC5300. It is a common module used by most newer laptops. The ram modules can be bought from anywhere, it doesn't need to be from Apple. If you're buying more rams for ur MacBook, here's a tip:

DO NOT buy Corsair value rams. There are numerous reports that they don't work well with the MacBook's.

Hope this helps. Cheers. smile.gif
