ddr2 so-dimm @667mhz. It's a very easy thing to do, see guide here; http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/85.4.0.html

People will tell you to only buy Crucial, or Corsair, or whatever, or it won't work. These people are clueless. I bought Kingmax for my Macs, because it was the cheapest at the time. I've only ever suffered one kernel panic since the 10.2 days, and that was because of a software malfunction I caused myself... The idea that Macs are more finnicky about memory than other computers is largely bullshit.


And as bahula said, it's PC5300 DDR2 SO-DIMMs (damned acronyms).

I bought Patriot from Monarch and it has largely worked just fine (it was the cheapest at the time). I did the 2GB upgrade for both my macbook pro and 17" intel imac.

I just got 2 Gigs of this G-SKILL stuff from newegg. I'm running memtest on it right now, so far so good...
