[QUOTE="chscag, post: 852386, member: 46727"] Never buy memory from Apple unless you've got $$$ to burn. :) Buy the Crucial kit, it's the same memory without the Apple mark up. As far as the heating problem is concerned, adding memory in most situations is not going to make the machine run noticeably cooler. The MBP is designed to run warm and should be OK under most conditions. Just don't operate it on a carpeted surface, your lap, on a bed, and so on. Use a notebook stand if possible. Not only does a stand allow air to flow under the machine, it also gives protection against those accidental spills that seem to occur around notebook computer. Regards. [/QUOTE]
