hi guys, i have a question to ask

i have macbook pro 13" 2.26Hz 2GB RAM 160GB

I would like to upgrade my RAM to 4Gb, so my question would be what is the best option for upgrading my macbook pro ? should i go to apple center or should i buy a 3rd party ram and install into my macbook ?

And also if possible, please quote the price as well.

Very much appreciated

since u bought it already, then ur best option is to buy 3rd party and install urself

i bought a pair of 2gb Corsair DDR3 RAMs for RM350 or so.

apparently (from this thread) the best brands are OWC and Crucial but those you have to order online, and are slightly more expensive lah. you can also get Kingston KTA or Mushkin 'for Mac' RAMs but those are overpriced.

so i'll recommend get Corsair or the normal Mushkins. Kingston KVR got mixed results so try to stay away

one last question, ANY Corsair DDR3 RAMs will do or do i have to buy a specific one ? like mac compatible one ?
