I've got a 15" early 2008 model MBP with 2gb of RAM. I just got snow leopard and am looking to max out the ram at 4gb. i know what type of RAM i need, and i came across these two on crucial's website. is there any difference in these? they have different model numbers, i know one says it is for a mbp and the other doesn't, but they look the same? i ask because i found the second one elsewhere online for under $50. i really appreciate the help, this is my first time purchasing ram for a mac!

4GB kit (2GBx2), 200-pin SODIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300 upgrades for Apple MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (15.4-inch) Laptop/Notebook, CT687602 from Crucial.com

nope they are both the same, just one certified for the macbook and the other isn't, but it will still work

Here is the kit at newegg for $59.

Have to question who the supplier is at < $50. You need to make sure it's a reputable company.
