It is Important to get the Correct and Matching RAM

For best performance, fill both memory slots, installing an equal memory module in each slot.

These are good online stores for Mac compatible RAM
OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/ - They offer Mac tested RAM at very good prices.
Crucial Memory http://www.crucial.com/ - good place to buy RAM from all over the world. They also have an excellent memory selector that allows you to choose memory based on your computer's model
Data Memory Systems http://www.datamemorysystems.com/apple-memory.asp - another good, cheap place to buying RAM if you live in the U.S.
Here are instructions on replacing RAM in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://homeoffice.consumerelectronicsnet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=44404

Another non-techie here with a memory question
How much RAM can I add to my MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBookPro2,1
MacBook Pro (late 2006)
Processor 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Current memory: 2GB (two SO-DIMMs) 667 MHz DDRs SDRAM (PC2-5300)
The actual installation sounds quite simple. I just want to be sure I get the right chips.
TIA

According to OWC it will take 8gb of RAM http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3
Actually 16GB - According to OWC - I have the same model.
Hi,
I have a 4,1 Macbook as well. It's currently suffering from extreme slowness and I am wondering if updating/upgrading my memory will help this problem.
I have 2GB of memory currently, and have read that with my model I can have 6 GB of max memory. This includes the 2 GB built into my computer (so I can upgrade by adding 2 seperate 2GB card, right?)
Please advise. I am a student, but not in a financial position to buy a new computer presently. I am hoping to spend a little money on this memory upgrade and be able to use my MacBook for a few more years. Appreciate any thoughts!
Thanks,
Helenorosaurus

There are only 2 RAM Slots...

The Linked site also has instructional Videos on How to Install RAM should you need it.
Hey do you have any information on how much ram a MacBookPro5,5 could handle?
The model 5,5 MacBook Pro can use 8gb of 204 pin 1066mhz PC3-8500 RAM

I have a Macbook Pro 5,2 2009 that I am running with 8GB memory. I'm interested to know if anyone has gotten it to run with 16GB, i.e. 2 x 8GB soDIMM. Please don't hit me with the "It's Important to get the Correct and Matching RAM" mantra. I'm interested in what is possible.
I've seen some Kingston 8GB 1066MHz PC3-8500 sticks out there for $97 each that might fit the bill. What does everyone think of KVR16S11K2/16 or the Amazon product at http://www.amazon.com/Memory-1066MHz-PC3-8500-Notebook-Macbook/dp/B00A6TYORA ? Anyone?
I've got a macbook 7,1. I've got 2 compatible 4GB modules but it won't start when I install both of them. I have tried all combination and reseated them several time but I can only get it to start with a one of the original 1GB and one of the new 4GB modules. Any suggestions? (I'm running 10.6.8. Do I need to upgrade to 10.7 to make it work?)
Thanks
