    Upgrading RAM in MBP (2008 unibody) - Looking for input
    « on: August 21, 2009, 03:52:16 PM »
    I'm going to upgrade the RAM in my MBP next week. I've looked around and have pretty much settled on this...

    http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-CT2KIT25664BC1067-204-PIN-PC3-8500-SODIMM/dp/B001KUL012/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1250891111&sr=8-1

    I would just like your input and opinion on this brand. I don't have much experience with Crucial (I personally use G.Skill in all my machines without issue ;D ).

    EVerything look good to ya?
    Don't forget to give thanks if I was able to help ya! Please?

    Crucial is good ram.  Normally I'd be looking on newegg.com, but there really isn't much on there that's cheaper than what you found (and I like Crucial's ram).

    If you do want to save a couple of bucks though, check out http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16820349031

    This ram is made specifically for macs and has all 5 egg (star) reviews on newegg

      I got the Crucial RAM from Newegg, AND they had it on sale for $60.99!! Price is back up to $72.99 now, so I got that just right. Should be here tomorrow too!

        price on newegg always changes so better subscribe to their newsletter and always check to see if there are discounted ones.
