It says call for availability but I went ahead and ordered 2 sticks. This is too good to be true. There's no way I was passing on this. Hopefully soon I'll have 4 GB in my SR MBP. 🙂

MacBook Pro 2.2GHz Santa Rosa 160GB, Mac OS X (10.4.9), 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Hmmm...One invests a couple grand for a superior laptop - but then places off-brand, cheap memory in it...I just don't understand. I mean, Crucial has 4GB (2x2) for the MBP at $299. That's the "furthest" down the line frm original Apple parts i would personally consider for running my MBP investment.

But that's just my opinion...I may be wrong.

OCZ should work just fine, but keep in mind that Macs can be very sensitive when it comes to RAM. The module might be perfectly good, but if you have any kernel panics, the first place I will look is towards the RAM.

The only problem I see is that if the that happens, OCZ might not cover it. It is for that reason that I suggest that buyers look for RAM that is guaranteed to work with Macs and has a lifetime replacement warranty. Crucial and OWC come to mind, but there are others.

It sounds like a good deal. Let's hope that it works find for you.
