    A very small one. Any sort of hardware store should have smaller phillips head screw drivers, I don't know if Best Buy will, but there is a good chance they will have some sort of kit for working on computers that should include the properly sized screwdriver. Basically just look for the smallest one possible. I've taken apart my fiances macbook and the screwdriver I used is maaaybe 2 mm wide.

    Dad has one from Sears, it is 1.5 inches long. My MacBook should be here Wednesday, and I ordered my RAM from Crucial, even though it was a little bit more expensive, not much more though.
