    I am getting a 2.26 Macbook Pro in the Mail sometime this week. I was wondering what is the best/money wise the best 4gb Ram I can get for it.

    I am going be using the Laptop to run DJ softwares and pretty much play music. Need it to run as smooth as possible.

    Thanks!

    RAM is RAM. So long as you get it from a name brand company that has a history of producing quality product and providing lifetime warranty support should a RAM stick fail, that's really all you can ask for.

    Just because it is brand XYZ and costs $20 extra doesn't mean it is any better. Any DDR3 RAM stick is going to perform just about the same, and the differences really do not matter.
