    Haven't seen many links to 1x4GB memory. And the specs claim it's Apple memory too. In any case, like you other thread what laptop do you have? I believe only the latest Montevina platform officially supports 4GB DIMMs.

    Well, Apple memory is really no different from any other memory. They are just validate to ensure compatibility with Macs.

    I'm not sure what to recommend about your first link though. It's a great price, but the picture shows a very strange chip layout so I'm not sure what to make of it. You could probably call them and ask.
