[QUOTE="gwsat, post: 1002996, member: 144672"] Your post was well timed, at least for me. I ordered 6Gb of RAM from OWC this morning. It is for my MB Pro 3,1 2.4Ghz 17 inch. I have bought FireWire 800 hard drives from OWC before and found them to be very reliable. I now have only the 2Gb of RAM that came standard with my MB Pro. Unfortunately, 2Gb has turned out to be inadequate because I frequently run Windows apps in a VMware Fusion virtual machine with Windows 7. The research I have done has convinced me that it's a memory problem because virtual machines are notorious memory hogs. Lord knows, I am living proof of that.:) An advantage of dealing with OWC is its 15 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee. That means, of course, that if I don't get the improvement from the speed of Windows 7 and the apps that I expect, I can simply return the memory modules to OWC for a refund. [/QUOTE]
