Hey,

I'm thinking of buying a base model MacBook for $1,099. But I'd like to know where is a good place to get memory upgrades for cheap? I'm looking for a 1GB (2x512) upgrade for less then $100 or a 2GB for less than $200. Where should I go?

I went to my local Fry's electronics and got Patriot brand,2 gig matched DDR2 667 DIMMS for $175. Not sure if it was a typo or not, but I couldn't pass it up. Also, I suggest you spring for the 2Ghz proc model if you can possibly afford it, since upgrading the proc is currently not possible by yourself.

PC5300 DDR2. Read the user reviews; lot of MacBook/MPB users give reviews. 4-5 stars with a lot of reviews, especially with a fair amount from mac users is good.
