Maybe you don't need 4GB of RAM on your MBP...

But can you pass up a deal like 2GB memory for $39.99? There's even a $10 rebate for it! I just bought 2 for my MBP, so hopefully they'll work without a problem. The rebate is 1 per household, so if you bought 2 modules it would still only be $70 after rebate.

 

Wow, great find. I hope I can find a deal like this in February so I can update my MBP's memory.

 

Its a deal that cant be passed up. Especially if you bootcamp into Vista or run VM's.

 

I bought 2 sticks of these late last week for $100. Now they are $60??? What gives???

 

Haha, same deal over at NCIX for us Canadians, $40 for 2x1 GB OCZ RAM. I got my 2 GB of RAM when it was $55 a few days ago, but I'm not too disappointed that I missed out on the current deal, as I'm going away for the holidays and if I ordered now I wouldn't get it in time.

 

Virtual Machines is exactly the reason why I couldn't pass up this deal. Now when I boot my Boot Camp partition under VMware Fusion, I can allocate 2GB of RAM to Vista the memory hog .

 

Memory prices have been fluctuating even more than usual lately. That's quite a drop downward. I had ordered a 2x2 GB desktop kit for my new mid-tower system build. I paid $110 for it last week. This week, it's up to $140.

Kind of like fishing, you just have to be in the right place at the right time in order to capitalize.

 

100$ for 2x2GB here.


i couldnt imagine running my VMs withoutit.

 

that's amazing. I remember when those cost more in the range of $400. too bad my macbook only supports 2 gigs.

 

I already have 2G in my system, I do not need 4G so far.

 

I found a similar deal, and just had to go for it. I rarely see the boost with the 4 GB, but I figured that it can't hurt to be prepared for the next few years.

 

I think my 2.33MBP can only handle 3gb.. will I notice a difference compared to 2gb? I wonder if it's even worth the slight difference.

 

I'd say no...the difference between 2 GB and 3 GB is not much. I'd rather use the saved money on a mouse or keyboard .

 

You can tell when you need more ram because your Macbook will spend far too much time swapping things on and off the hard drive, causing an ugly system-wide slowdown. You won't get any significant performance increases if you aren't getting close to using all 2 gigs at once in the first place.

 

LMAO, "drop downward"? Redundant wording, that's like saying "frozen ice". Sorry for the pun, just couldn't pass it up but anyways that is a great deal on the ram but I'm scared about the quality when the price gets this low.

 

$400?

when they first came out and for months, they were over $1200 for the pair, and thats the best price you could find, imagine what people like dell were charging

 

Just like the more recent days when 256 MB flash drives were $70 each?

 

Well, I did mean $400 each

But yeah, it's crazy stuff, eh?

 

Can't wait for $50 hd-dvd and blu-ray combo drives to hit the shelves... should be anytime now seeing how practically anything new in the tech world quickly becomes reasonable within a year or two.

 

32 GB iPod Touch for $300 please!

 

Just an update for anyone who doesn't trust such inexpensive memory...I received the memory this evening and installed it. Works great so far. Huzzah for 4GB of RAM!

 

Well, I'm sure out of the box, it won't be any issue...most people are probably worried about reliability, say after a year or so.
