Looking to up my RAM in my late 13-inch 2008 aluminum MacBook

Hello Techies!

I have been trying to educate myself on the RAM requirements for my MacBook, (circa late 2008, aluminum 13-inch) however I find myself a little overwhelmed with all of the brand possibilities.

I know that I need a DDR3-1066 PC3-8500, however I'm definitely not sure which brand to purchase.

I have found a few listings on Amazon, in particular, two listings both by Crucial with a VAST price difference.

I am unable to tell the difference in product based on the listings, maybe somebody here could tell me why two seemingly similar products have such a crazy price difference, and if I should purchase one of these listings?

Listing 1
Listing 2

I'm also not sure I want to go with Crucial? I'm fine paying more to make sure I get something that will last me longer, rather than not.

Also, I feel that I should be honest and say that a majority of my need for RAM is because playing World of Warcraft with 2 gigs of ram has become a joke. It is recommended to at least run the game on a system with 4 gigs.


So, any ideas or thoughts?

I am looking to buy off of Amazon, so any links to listings on there would be great.

Thank you!

Grab the cheaper one, on the technical side of things theres no difference between any of those sticks. (I mean they might be manufactured differently but the performance is exactly the same)
