RAM for Macbook Pro

[dotcat]

Has anyone had experience in upgrading their ram from a local supplier? Obviously not official ram as that is too pricey. But what brand of ram have you found to work?

Patriot RAM is awesome... and it's so easy to install its not even funny! The RAM is a bit sensitive though and if you toast your logic board you're going to void your warranty.

u should have no problems at all, buy it from a decent supplier though...
I have noticed no benchmark differences between apple ram and third party, although i have been told numerous times from core employees that there is a difference blah blah...
About the only good thing about apple ram is that i have never seem a bad module...but who cares? most ram either has lifetime warranty or ten years....

kingston or apacer, the price should be around 300 bucks.

kingston is more than that from what I can recall. Mac's are fussy on the type they can have.

I'm under the impression that Apple considers RAM upgrades a user serviceable task. I haven't heard that upgrading RAM will void your warranty. Its exactly the opposite.!

I think that if you damage something else along the way - or faulty ram is responsible for damaging something else - you're up the creak so to speak.

exactly, u can service it, but if u break anything on the way, its ur problem. Besides most resellers will install ram for free if u buy it from them
