Hi .. would like to know if any of you have personally / retailer upgraded the RAM in your macbook / aluminium / macbook pro ?

As I know, below are the specs :

Macbook 13" - DDR2 667Mhz
Macbook 13" Aluminium - DDR3 1066Mhz
Macbook Pro - DDR 3 1066Mhz

Would like to know what brand of RAMs that you guys use successfully without any problems ?

from machines, we sell KTA (Kingston Apple RAM)

I wanna quote a guy from Epic saying that nowadays Apple doesn't certified Kingston RAMs anymore cause there are many problem. Is it true ? even with KTA versions. ? and many are saying that KTA and KVR is exactly the same specs.. just that KTA went thru apple's complete testing ...
The guy from Epic installed STRONTIUM RAMs on all machines sold with RAM upgrade. Never heard of this brand before..
