I m using Corsair DDR3 1066, 2 pcs 2GB rams on my MBP 13" 2.26mHz SnowLeopard.
Been using since last 3 weeks. Nil problem to any applications. Running all 3 editing programmes....CS4 , Picasa and Lightroom simultaneously...." not really fast and not too slow BUT not hang "...thus satisfy me. Compare to only 2GB running alone, it was too slow ( slow action responding ) when 3 programmes running together. nod.gif

Price that time I bought : RM 165 for 1 piece 2GB
Location :  Digital Mall PJ.

DDR3 still new in market, but DDR2 price increasing, guess more new computer user will buy DDR3 system compare to buying DDR2 ~

that one got the "for Apple" chop...that's why become expensive. even hard drives also like that... juz different format only n they can add rm100-200 to the price sad.gif

the normal corsair stick is exactly the same thing. the one u mentioned was tested on a Mac so Corsair can guarantee it to be compatible. that's like saying a car is guaranteed to run on Shell petrol ;p

So do you think we really need the "for Apple" chop? @_@
2GB if not enough for use when I virtualize winXP in Parallel Desktop ~
