I just clicked off the same site. My 2008 Macbook aluminum 2.0 Ghz core duo has only 2 gigs of RAM. I use it mainly for writing when I want to work out of my office and for note taking at meetings and the like, but I occasionally like to process some photos on it in PS4, and have to shut everything else down. So I ordered the 6 gig upgrade. Only $39.95 from Other World Computing. Slightly more than a buck for USPS shipping. Not bad.
