I upgraded mine to 4GB, using Corsair Mac Memory (low latency). I get good performance and I'm happy with it.

Yes you can order it from me but the price won't be cheap. Trust me, it is god damn expensive. I remember eating instant noodle for the rest of the days till the end of the month after getting my mbp ram upgraded.

I hv some query. Will there b a huge difference in the performance after upgrading the RAM from 2gb to 4gb? I was thinking of upgrading since long long time ago and i remembered reading from somewhere that there won't be any huge diff so i dropped the idea eventually. Anyway, May i noe what's the cheapest price in the market i can get for those RAM mentioned below?

1) Kingstone
2) Mushkin
3) Corsair
or any other brand and their performance respectively.

Thxs bunch.
