[QUOTE="mitchww, post: 1210791, member: 26079"] At Macmemory.com the prices for MBP mem upgrade are higher but their website ([url=http://www.macmemory.com/macbook.asp#BlackBezel]MacBook Pro RAM | MacBook Pro Memory | Apple MacBook Pro Hard Drives | Ramjet Inc.[/url]) touts: "Non-Stacked IC's: Ramjet uses a Non-stacked module for the 4GB DDR2-667 module for the MacBook Pro. The cheaper stacked IC variety of 4GB SO-DIMM draws more power, which increases heat and decreases battery life. Ramjet ONLY uses premium non-stacked chips." Is there anything to this" premium non-stacked chip" business? Their prices are $30 or more higher than OWC and Crucial. Is there a difference between what these companies are selling? (I have a new MBP purchased recently) [/QUOTE]
