Good deal on DDR2 laptop RAM

Aug 04, 2006 15:57

Attention, recent purchasers of MacBooks and MacBook Pros. $120 for 2GB of RAM is a very good deal, especially compared to Apple's price. I use the Patriot 2GB PC5300/667MHz kit in my MacBook and it's working great.

By the way, if anyone's looking for the one place where the otherwise mythical "Apple Tax" is in full effect look at RAM prices.

Best Price I've Ever Seen: $110
Normal Price: $150
Apple Price: $600
Apple Tax: 400%

It's frustrating that they charge an arm and a leg for commodity parts but fortunately upgrading RAM is very easy for everything except the Mac Mini. They might make a fuss but I've had no trouble so far.
