Best Place to Buy Macbook Pro RAM
Stumbled upon a great blog post talking about RAM today. At the bottom of the post it recommended 2 places to buy RAM that I hadn’t heard of yet.
I hopped on over to OWC MacSales and found to my liking that it would be only $27 to add 1GB of RAM to my aging Macbook Pro, whoo! I didn’t realize RAM prices were so cheap now. This should seriously speed up my notebook, a 1GB and 512MB sticks isn’t the best combo, doh!
I’ll keep this place in mind when I buy a 4th gen Macbook Pro (when they come out soon) and want to upgrade to 4GB of RAM... only $125, just slightly cheaper than Apple charging $700 for this option when you buy your Macbook Pro ;-)

The mac pro uses an 800 mhz transfer rate…this one goes at about 667 which is considerably slower. What this means is that communication between the ram and the processor will be hampered, effectively causing an unwanted bottleneck. Also, mac pro ram his Fully buffered, which means it has faster transfer speeds than regular ram at lower voltages. However, as a side note, fully buffered ram does have slower latency speeds.
