Best place to buy RAM for MacBook Pro?

[JonnyMac]

Hey guys,

Just took the plunge and ordered a 2ghz MacBook Pro from Amazon (hope it arrives before March 2007 as it says on my invoice!) and I was wondering what some options are to buy an extra 1GB stick. I've used Crucial before but the pricing for the 1GB stick is pushing $200. Is that what I should expect to pay or are there any reputable places (tried and tested) that are cheaper? Thanks for any input!

I second the vote for Data Memory Systems if you are in the USA.

Hi and welcome.
I bought my Ram for my Intel iMac Core Duo from here http://www.datamem.com/default.asp

Great service, prices and a guarantee that's very good. Cost me $240 for my 2GB Ram and had it shipped next day Good luck

OWC has great service and prices too.

They are local to me and I have bought a lot of stuff from them. Excellent pre- and post-sales support.

I second OWC, I have ordered ram from there and it always ships quick and works great.

I vote for Other World Computing!

I've always had good experiences with OWC (Other World Computing), their store is at
www.macsales.com

I bought an upgrade Hard drive & Ram for my Ti Powerbook ...all good!

Here's the link to the MacBook Pro Ram section where I bought the $115 1 GB chip for my new 2.0 ... installed & all is 100%!!

They also have SuperFine Tech Support area with "How-to-install" videos. It's how I took my Ti PB apart with confidence. It was good!

Crucial sells really good memory and I just ordered a 1GB stick for my soon to arrive MacBook Pro for $167.00. Not bad.

Cancel your order.

Order with MacMall who is already shipping and get your ram upgrade on the spot and turn in the rebate to get it free. Their sites says 512 upgrade( I ordered on the phone), but I got 1 gig upgrade for the same price.

Boy from OWC.

<---Another satisfied customer of Other World Computing. Great prices, warranty, ship, and quality.

Lots of users have reported problems with the "free" RAM upgrades from places like MacMall. I am not saying that you will have problems, but Macs are picky about their RAM and so am I. I prefer to select the RAM I want rather than have it thrown in for free.

I have a place that is excellent, has great (!!!!) prices and friendly service. I am not going to tell you, though, because the while world will know and they will no longer be my friendly neighborhood Apple service provider/store.

I'm another fan of OWC. I've ordered many GB from them. Once had to return a chip, and it was replaced, no questions asked. Great prices, great service.

I'm a big fan of OWC (Other World Computing). They are at macsales.com.

They even let me exchange the 512 stick I ordered for a 1 GB stick, without much trouble. It was all me being a stupid idiot, but they still let me exchange, and I only lost the shipping.

The memory works great.

Crucial is great too, but they are too expensive right now.
