whaat about this ram?
I bought a macbook last week. there is on a gig of ram (2X512) I thought it would be enough, but it seem like it would be happier with 2 gig.
I looked at this ram, 51$ for 2 gig!
too good to be true?

If your going to upgrade, you might as well get 4gb of ram, that can be had for around $75 these days.
Does it worth it?
do you think that 4 gig will make a difference?
Does it worth it?
Yes, it does. For me at least. I find the 1 GB factory installed just the minimum for a reasonably performing system. I too installed 4 GB from OWC which is $100. The difference, for my use, is night and day. If you are monitoring what Mac OS X and several applications are doing, you may be surprised at how quickly they do consume everything available in memory. Furthermore, on a Macbook 144 MB of system memory will go for graphics, which leaves you with only 856 MB for everything else.

from memphis to montreal in about 30 hours!
I ordered only the 2 gig, that will be enough for my use.
I installed it about an hour ago and everything seem perfect so far.
Is this normal for OWC to do? The modules are working fine so far, but I was just curious...couldn't find anything on their site about it.
Let me ask you fine folks this: Is it normal for OWC RAM to be rebranded? I just threw 2GB in my new Macbook tonight which I had purchased from OWC, and both 1GB modules had "Crucial" plastered on them with an OWC sticker sort of covering each label.

I doubt OWC makes memory. I could be wrong but it looks to me like they're just a reseller.
Crucial, on the other hand, is the retail arm of Micron, which actually manufactures RAM.

I know OWC offers a buy back plan to buy back your RAM your replacing so if there a reseller, your not buying used RAM are you?
