OWC 2GB Apple MacBook SODIMM DDR2 RAM Kit Review
 

After installing the OWC 2GB (1024MB x 2) Matched Pair DDR2 PC2-5300 667MHz DIMMs the computer RAM much faster under VMware. I could change mailboxes in outlook with lag of only a second at most. Running Photoshop Elements was also faster and the entire system in general ran smoother."

doing the upgrades yourself is good way to reduce the price of a mac :)

Have been using OWC for over 15 years now to upgrade my Macs. Always liked the company and their offers :)

Yes Apples RAM prices ridiculously overpriced (even by Apple standards).

it's because the Apple logo is put on the boxes manually and it takes a lot of time and effort:p
