MacBook - What RAM is best for my new NVIDIA enabled Macbook White?

I have the new NVIDIA enabled Macbook white with 2 Gig of RAM.

I want to upgrade the RAM as I use it for music production - I have seen 4 gig of 667Mhz DDR2 RAM going for £30 which is, I'm sure, a good deal.

However, I have heard talk of DDR3 RAM. Does this work on a Macbook, or only a Macbook Pro?

Are there any better options than 4 gig of 667 Mhz DDR2 RAM available for my Macbook, be that by more RAM, or a higher speed?

Many Thanks,

Alex

Its DDR2 RAM, see this link (users have been able to get 6 gig installed on the white macbook)

Hmm. Looks like 4 gig of DDR2 667 is still my best option..

Hate to burst your bubble but if you have the new MB with the DDR3 RAM then you can't use DDR2 RAM. The sockets are different. It won't fit.

Pretty much anything from this list should work.

I recommend crucial though. Might also want to check out their website to check for the lowest pricing.
