Upgrading Ram from 2GB to 4GB

I heard there have been compatibility issues with some aftermarket ram upgrades on the new aluminum macbook. Does anyone know of a list of compatible ram? I would hate to buy some and not have it work.

I'd suggest to look here:

Apple Mac MacBook and MacBook Pro Memory

and ask them about returns on ram if it proves incompatible. I've dealt with them before for ram and have had good results. A lot on the compatibility issues it seems will depend on the model of laptop you have and the type of ram it actually requires (ie: if it requires DDR3 and you put in DDR2 ram)

Good luck!

ps - I should note that I did read something along with what you're talking about, but since I don't currently have a Mac notebook, I never expanded my research. I'm hoping that memoryx will give you some good news - either way, please report back what you find out.

You didn't mention exactly what model MacBook you have...but you could try these guys as well:

Find the latest Performance Upgrades, Firewire and USB Hard Drives, SATA, Memory, Laptop Battery, and more at OWC

They have a great system for identifying the correct ram for your computer, and if for some reason the ram doesn't work properly when you install it, they have a great/liberal return policy.

I have a Mac Book Pro that i bought new in December of 06. I have heard that I can upgrade to 4 gigs of RAM with Leopard but others have said 2 gigs is the max. Can anyone verify this for me?

Thanks!

Thanks for the help, and yes you can get 4gb of ram in that model.

Sorry to thread jack,

But what will be the max RAM in the AL Macbooks once snow Leopard is out? I know that the NVidia card can take up to six? Why I'm confused is b/c i hear that Ram pairs are better but then I also read that more Ram is better. I need the RAM for photoshop+Apeture or LR (i haven't chosen yet) and VM Fusion when I run that...My computer slows a lot

I'm curious on this subject as well. What brand of RAM have you guys had good luck with?
