Uhh.. SODIMM PC5300 RAM modules... (667MHz).. note that max u can go is 1GB per bank, making a total of 2GB RAM... u can use 533Mhz RAM, but wat's the point? 800Mhz RAM oso can, but u'll just run at 667.. so yeh.. there u go!

they are DDR2 RAM chips.

Yeah, Apple sells 2GB chips, but that is for other Macs... but if you look around other forums, 4GB was said to be working in some cases, but then I wouldn't dare spend money to try it, unless I have other Macs...

So according to specifications, it is 1GB per bank, and with two banks it makes 2GBs... and yeh, having a same pair of chips will slightly make performance better... note.. slightly... it's something like widening 2 lane highway to 4 lane highway... but still got Toll.. ahhh. u get the point rite?

Don't EVER go to Apple to get ur RAM upgrades, they are there to SLIT ur throats... Just go and buy ur own RAM and install it yourself! Very very very easy to do... go apple.com and search for a guide to install RAM, they will teach u how to do it there.

Added on April 11, 2007, 2:11 pmOh.. i suggest u buy in pairs.. like 1GB plus 1 GB.... or 512mb plus 512mb...

Umm.. prices are cheap nowadays.. i think around RM100 to RM120 for a 512MB stick??

You can stick to the few brands which Apple themselves are using... To my knowledge, the two types they use most often are Hynix... and Kingston...

Kingston and Hynix are somehow related anyways...

I am currently using a pair of 512MB... from Kingston.. and it's the KVR... and no problems at all! 1GB is perfect for day to day tasks.. and just good enough for your photoshop works... but if ya want better performance for stuff like photoshop, u would be better off with more RAM

no problem dude! me in singapore now.. so i dun haf any recommendations... i personally like the people at lowyat.. macstudio... i think they might be able to help u install for free, they're friendly people. Oh it's very easy to install yourself too haha...

well! happy purchasing!!!

Me using 2 Kingston KVR667D2S5/512 sticks...

It's actually 512MB PC5300 667MHz CL5 chip...

Got it 3 mths ago for SGD52 per chip, which is RM118 per chip. But I last checked 2 days ago, the price it was SGD48 which is RM109...

I haven't been home to KL for a long time, wonder how's the price like at LowYat.. or wherever else...

No hangs, no weird restarts, and very stable!

Anyways, can someone tell me? If I buy a lower rated CL chip.. anything less than CL5, will it work? and er.. will there be significant improvement? Thanks!
