Hey,
I've had a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz for about 1 1/2 years now and I only have 1 GB of ram. I was hoping to upgrade, and I was looking at Other World Computing's website, and I saw I can get up to 4 GB of ram, which is about what I want. I know how to install it and everything, I was just wondering if it is a good idea to buy the ram from a third party, because I don't want to put it in and then start up the computer and have non-working ram.
So what I'm asking is two-fold
1) is it a good idea to trust third-party ram, especially from OWC (like has anyone done it before)
2) does anyone have any suggestions of other places to get the ram, or if I should get OWC ram or Samsung ram or something like that.
Thanks
