I need 4GB in my MacBook Pro

[gkhaldi]

Does anyone has tried or knows if the new Kingston 2GB memory modules are supported in the MacBook Pro.

I really really need a lot of extra memory (already maxed out on 2GB and a lot of swapping going on)

I think the consensus is that it should be possible, at least theoretically. I don't think anyone has actually tried it as the 2GB modules are going for around 1800 USD on Crucial (scroll down on http://www.crucial.com/store/listmodule.asp?family=DDRII&tabid=DDR2+PC2-5300). I think a lot of people would really appreciate it if you'd try though.

I'll call them this afternoon to check if they have them on stock and how fast they can ship.

I will order them because I really need them. I just hope that they'll work.

Heres to hoping. Let us know if it works or not.

Thats DESKTOP RAM, not LAPTOP RAM.

Desktop DDR2 is 240 pin, while Laptop is 200 pin.

And looking at the prices for 2 GB SO-DIMM 200 pin DDR2... ouch, my wallet really hurts. Two 2 GB SO-DIMM modules go for more than the Macbook Pro.
