Upgrading from 2 to 4 Gig RAM?

Upgrading from 2 to 4 Gig RAM on MacBook Pro?

I recently purchased a 15" Macbook Pro and I am looking to increase the RAM from 2 to 4 gig's. When researching the memory choices, some comments were made that there were potential issue's with certain types of memory. What do I need to know before I make this purchase? Are there issue's with certain types of manufacturers? Also, I'm not very techy so keep it somewhat simple. Thanks!

You won't have to worry about any of that if you purchase from a reputable dealer. I recommend Crucial. Their memory is competitively priced, guaranteed, and the shipping is free. Go to:

Memory upgrades, flash media, and usb storage at Crucial.com

Don't make the mistake of buying 2GB of RAM and thinking you are set to go because you have 2X1GB RAM in your machine. To fully upgrade to 4GB you need 2X2GB of RAM.

my friend did that, brought and iMac, wanted to upgrade from 1GB ram to 2, first he brought ordinary Ram, not for notebooks and only 1GB so... total failure

Out of interest, why are you thinking of upgrading? 2gigs is actually a decent amount for most things.
