Kingston RAM for the MBP is cheaper than Crucial *and* Apple.

Ebuyer.com, by googling for the Kingston part number. I *think* I just
caught them before the prices went up :-)))

It might do, but you might need to be more specific on the model.

Yeah, when I looked around middle of last year it was �40 ish for 2x2GB
DDR3, and watched it go up month by month. I was vaguely thinking of
getting one of those 6GB kits from OWC in the US, but in earlier this
month I gave up and paid �75 for those Kingston sticks. VMs are much
nimbler :-))
