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!
