[QUOTE="WintersFury, post: 927892, member: 124227"] Hey all, I just got my MBP a few weeks ago and already upgraded my hard drive and am planning on upping my memory as I'm noticing some slowdowns when photo editing in Lightroom2 and when I'm doing some gaming. Now I hear that Macs are notoriously picky about their memory... But looking at the stuff that manufacturers advertise for Mac it's about $80 for 4gb, while non Mac stuff is $60 for 4gb and [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104139"]high performance CL5 stuff[/URL] is $100 for 4gb. So I'm mainly wondering if I'll be able to spend less and have it work right with standard stuff or be able to spend a bit more and get some high performance stuff. Personally I'd rather get the high performance, but if my best bet will be the Mac stuff... 4gb will be an upgrade either way. Thanks for reading and any opins / suggestions! :D [/QUOTE]
