I put some aftermarket RAM in my Macbook, going from 2GB to 4GB with either Kingston or Patriot that I bought at Fry's. It locked up my computer. I took it out, got my refund and just upgraded my RAM at the Apple store- apparently Apple designed their RAM such that aftermarket RAM won't always work well. I'm not a computer engineer so I can't testify to the validity of the statement. I DO know that you can upgrade the RAM more cheaply if you do it at the time of purchase.

thanks guys for the link and the input.

ordered 2 of the 4gb upgrade sets.

4gb should be enough for normal use right?
