Don't use the Corsair Value Ram! I tried two different modules, and both caused havoc with my Macbook Pro. I think it actually needs to say "PC2 5300". I ended up going to Micro Center and buying Lifetime Memory, and it works perfectly.

hmm..what kind of havoc ?
next round of available mem then.
TwinMOS DDR2 SO-DIMM PC5300 1024MB CL5 1.8V, 64Mx8/16, 200p DDR2 PC2-5300

 

[ThomasM]

1 gb kingston

Kingston KTA-MB667/1G - yes, compatible, in constrained supply
Kingston KVR-xxxxx ValueRAM - unknown, prior ValueRAM models have been incompatible with various Macs. Kingston does not guarantee compatibility.
TwinMOS - unknown.
Corsair ValueSelect - reported as incompatible

Your best bet is to buy from a reputable seller who guarantees compatibility with your Mac.

 

[ThomasM]

no such things in norway so far :/

Crucial is quality stuff. You can't go wrong with it

 

[ThomasM]

yeah,its quality mem, though i want to be sure that it actually works with the macbook before spending a fortune on it

They guarantee it will but a bit $$$ Try this link and see if they ship to you (worth a shot) as OWC has good prices and will guarantee the ram as well.

I bought that crucial stick. Works well, no complaints.

 

[ThomasM]

it costs around 230USD here in norway, its the only type of memory that is garantued to work. i cant order from international stores, the price difference dissapears and ends up with this = 25% when getting it to norway, shipping fees that are almost the same as the product itself + shipping time.

so the crucial ram i mentioned is garantued to work ?
