Every Developer Deserves More Memory

I should stop to continue to live with 2GB I guess. can I install any kind of DDR2 SDRAM in my macbook, right? I hope I don't need to get super overpriced Apple RAM.

I just found out that the old macbook pros can take 6GB of ram. The late 2007 and 2008 pre unibody models. So if you're going to order some, might as well order the best.

Here's a link about it - http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=573906

not any RAM modules, but SO-DIMMs. they're about half as long as what you'd plug into a normal desktop PC.

Yep, and newer MacBooks actually use DDR3 rather than DDR2 memory. 'About my mac' will tell you what kind to get.

And I have DDR3 here at DevDays for those with those shiny, pretty MBPs. :)

You don't need Apple RAM. Check out Other World Computing for an Apple-friendly RAM shop.
