    It will tell you what RAM your MacBook takes under: Apple Symbol>About the Mac>More Info>Memory.

    +1 for Crucial

    They are also useful if you don't know exactly what you are looking for, just plug in your system details and they tell you what you need :)

    Just some advice; your macbook has 2 ram slots. It currently has 2X512 sticks. If you want to upgrade to 4 gigs you'll need to buy 2X2 Gig sticks.
