Hello everyone i just have a question regarding ram. I currently have a 17 inch mbp 2.5 ghz 2 gig and i want to upgrade my ram to 4 gigs. I know how to do this but my question is can someone provide me with a website where i can purchase ram? I searched but i didn't get what i was looking for. Also, if someone can recommend a quality brand and spec of the ram i would appreciate it. Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

Look at System Profiler to find out what kind of Mac do you have to identify the right RAM.
As you have a 2.5GHz 17" MBP, I presume you need the 667MHz variant.
