i recently ordered a macbook pro 15", 2.4ghz with 250hdd and am awaiting arrival. i ordered 4g memory from newegg, but it was not a 'kit.' i just ordered 2 of 'Crucial 2GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Notebook Memory - Retail'

could someone pls. link me to the crucial memory i should have ordered? does it make a difference?

thanks so much

gosh, thanks soulwar, but that is as confusing as newegg. if possible, i'd like a link to the specific one (no choices pls.) at newegg, since i'm already into money with them. i get overwhelmed by all the choices. i'd just like a link to a specific 'kit' if that is best for the above described macbook pro. i'm looking at replacing the 2g ram that comes with macbook pro 15.4" with whatever, to bring it up to the max amount of ram. an item number would work.

i think i'd like to go with cruical brand, so if i must change companies (due to $$)from newegg, i'll buy from cruical site.

thanks again.

Read this first article for matching memory. Seems to matter...

For choosing Ram, look for lifetime warranty and known "good" retailers.

There are 3 choices for newegg I found. Only the middle 1 has a lifetime warranty...

Yes. It's the only paired one I saw. Just check warranty info.
