I've just bought a MacBook and am looking to upgrade it to have 2gb RAM. I know the type required, but can't find any available in the UK....
I need two 1gb sticks of DDR2 PC2-5300 667mHz
Could someone tell me what the number of pins required is, and if possible link me to some appropriate RAM for sale in the UK.
Thankyou very much!
how about www.overclockers.co.uk
Had a look there but didn't come across anything.
I found this, which looked perfect:

However i have a suspicion that's for a desktop not a laptop. Could there be a difference in size/the number of pins?
heres what i will be ordering......not sure if they ship to the uk or not.....they should

Yes, there's a difference.Could there be a difference in size/the number of pins?
Ordered 2 sticks of these today. Much cheaper than crucials, and judging by the reviews its very mac friendly ram.

2 Sticks + Shipping + Tax = $170.97
sweet...timan, do you have your macbook yet?
quick review if you do?....just ordered mine today, replacing my DP 450 powermac and ibook g4 800.
I'm thinking of buying some more ram for my iMac, rather than to start a new one, anyone know of a good, cheap, reliable place to buy 2GB ram? 
Timan - That would be perfect, but the site says they don't ship internationally...
Does anyone know of a UK store?

Ordered one Sunday, hasn't shipped yet 
hopefully I get it this week, hardest part is waiting for it to arrive.
Photo678 - Just looked into their delivery charges, and it's only $20 to ship to the UK, meaning even including the shipping charges, it's under one third the price of having Apple build the RAM in at order time.
I've ordered 2gb - thanks for the link!
Just ordered 2GB aswell, thanks for the link Tim :cool:
what on earth are yall gonna use your macbooks for that will require 2gb of ram?!!!
my macbook has turned into my 1000 dolla browser lol
All sorts of stuff :-)
Unfortunately, I've just had my order cancelled by the online shop as apparently RAM isn't a product which can be exported. Damn!
So back to square one, looking for a UK seller of the specific type. Any ideas?
Actually, as the MacBook already has 512mb RAM, if I just purchased a 1gb stick I would have 1.5gb. Would it be particularly bad to have 1gb in one slot and 512mb in the other? I know it isn't ideal :-) - but would it have any real negative impact?
Cheers once again for the links etc

If you're gonna upgrade memory on a macbook, you want to have two of the same sticks of memory. Very noticeable performance increase with dual sticks of memory that are the same.
well no... the macbook comes w/ 2x256 = 512... since the video is shared memory i hear its better to do paired dimms rather than SODIMM...why? no idea... just what i hear...
so buying a 1gb stick, you would have 1.25gb... thats a pretty bad mismatch...
mine just shipped....whoohooo.
it says delivery for the 1st on the apple site....but hoping to have it by the weekend
Ha, seems everyones MacBook shipped today, Fedex states Friday morning. Can only hope so 
anothing reason its nice having an apple store 20 mins down the road! it was pretty cool walking in and picking up my machine, on hold from a few hours prior, on the day of release! best part was seeing all the jealous eyes as i carried it out the door lol...

did you pay for 3 day shipping?
Nope, was the free shipping option. Decided to buy it through apples site to save money, so not going to pay for a quicker shipping. My dumbass can wait 
ok, sweet....so you are right on par with me with shipping and whatnot.....just waiting for fedex to update to give me an EDT

No, you buy one mac, and sell it to get a newer one
