I own a mid-2010 MacBook (version 7,1) that is just under a year old, and I would like to upgrade the RAM because it is lagging (quite severely for certain applications). Does anyone here know which brand of memory I should use and how much the package costs, and/or if Apple's official RAM packages are better than third-party packages? Any answers would be much appreciated.
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8), MacBook White, Mid-2010 model
These are good online stores for RAM

Apple brand RAM is no better than anyone elses since they buy it from outside manufacturers. It's just twice as expensive.

Thank you very much for your help, Frederic! I guess I'll go for a 4GB package from Crucial Memory, in that case! 😀
