I have a new 15" i7 MBP. I'd like to upgrade the ram from 4gig to 8gig. In the PC world I bought ram a crucial.com Crucial is currently out of ram for MBPs.

Where are you buying ram. If there a reliable alternative to Crucial?

Thanks
Monty

If Crucial online is out of stock - head over to OWC.

I'm even better. My employer pays for everything! Problem is I'm self employed. ;P

Yeah...your employer pays for your:

- commuting costs to/from work
- your computers
- your clothing
- free lunch

...only problem is...with all this "free stuff" how come the wallet feels so much lighter at the end of the month!;)

Sadly this also means your employer watches you go to the bathroom...

Your employer is also stealing your lunch out of the office refrigerator.
