    I'm going to upgade to 4Gb of memory in my MBP. Newegg sells Transcend 2Gig moduales for $75.00. Does anyone have experience with that brand in MBP's?

    Those are the same sticks I put in my MBP. Works great! No problems.

    Edit:
    To prevent any confusion. These are the sticks I purchased specifically.

    As long its a pretty known brand (and Transcend is one of them), any RAM will do fine (of course, given its the right type).

    Thanks for the heads-up in the Transcend price. $150 for 4GB RAM sounds like a winner for my MBP!!!

    I just installed the Transcend memory from Newegg into my MBP and iMac. Everything works fine! Upgrade to 4 GB in each machine.
