    When I buy a macbook pro I'm gonna want to upgrade the ram (it costs 400 extra to go from 2 to 4 gb so im won't be doing it from there). What manufacturer is the most reliable?

    thanks

    They PC2-5400 and PC2-5300 are the same thing.

    -hot ram deals thread.

    I would go for the cheaper of the two(factor in shipping, taxes etc).

    Kingston also very reliable... they offer lifetime warranty & low defect rates.
