Hi .. would like to know if any of you have personally / retailer upgraded the RAM in your macbook / aluminium / macbook pro ?

As I know, below are the specs :

Macbook 13" - DDR2 667Mhz
Macbook 13" Aluminium - DDR3 1066Mhz
Macbook Pro - DDR 3 1066Mhz

Would like to know what brand of RAMs that you guys use successfully without any problems ?

any brand is fine. it will run. no problem. only apple is trying to earn more money by trying to scare the customers by incompatibilty problem

choose the correct speed and type and u shouldn't be worrrying. most ram sticks come with lifetime warranty

Yap, I have experienced with Macbook 13" DDR2 667Mhz. Upgraded from 1GB to 4GB with DIY method.....my brand is Mushkin...was using for about 3months time....without any problem There is so much different with 1GB and 4GB RAM....Mushkin can easily get from lowyat plaza Startec As i know only the new macbook 13" aluminium got some problems with upgraded to be more than 3GB ram.....the system will have some error occured even with the apple certified RAM...enlight me if anyone facing this problem

no you are wrong
new DDR3 need specific ram
else your computer wont start

from machines, we sell KTA (Kingston Apple RAM)

no idea on DDR3 needing specific ram. i'll check later. currently, my technology stops at DDR2 (belum upgrade lagi to ddr3)

I m using new macbook 13.3". i was thinking to buy kingston 2GB DDR3 1066Mhz RAM in taiwan but unfortunately all out of stock.

ANyone using kingston RAM?

instability in upgrades to 4gb ram for the alus, so far only those CTO one no problem

so any brand would be alright right ?
just gonna upgrade my ram for my 2.16 ghz C2D imac.
thinking of corsair.

Ya.. saw many problems online with those Aluminium machines using other brands of RAM.


What do you mean by CTO ?


I wanna quote a guy from Epic saying that nowadays Apple doesn't certified Kingston RAMs anymore cause there are many problem. Is it true ? even with KTA versions. ? and many are saying that KTA and KVR is exactly the same specs.. just that KTA went thru apple's complete testing ...
The guy from Epic installed STRONTIUM RAMs on all machines sold with RAM upgrade. Never heard of this brand before..

Saw that the machine that comes preinstalled with Samsung RAM .. anyway we can get those RAMs ? just for the sake of no uncertainty ???

nope, OEM Apple RAM is not ever sold separately.

KTA is certified to always work on Apple computers...

Personally, I don't care what sales people say, its my Mac... if it has kernel panic or any other RAM problems, I have to fix it...

I've been using 2X 1GB KVR DDRII 667MHz for about 8 months already without a hitch on my MacBook (plastic, white). Btw, I've got a piece of 256MB Mushkin KTA DDRII 667MHz RAM as a spare, anyone here care to purchase it from me as a spare for your own MacBook?

go to gizmodo check their history news, there is news about
new macbook system with crucial DDR3 ram, system gone crazy

Just upgrade my MacBook White with 4 GB Kingston RAM at RM 150.00 last week. RAM price had been falling lately so those who want to upgrade better grap this opportunity

can i used this RAM for my MBP? which was purchased this Feb

Kingston 2GB SODIMM DDR2 667MHz

Feedback Much Appreciated


and, how much are the KTA RAMS?

Actually, can u really notice the huge difference between the performance if u upgrade from 2gb to 4gb? Also, is it the Ori Apple certified RAM that comes with the MacBook is better than kingston or other brand of RAM in term of performance?

I also have the same doubt with you

so far the ram issue on blog has one similarity
feedbacks posted after the blog by users, all says no issue, weird

Hi Guys, Im planning to get ram for my macbook to, btw,

@Digital_Life, can you tell me the kingston Ram product number because i thinking of getting kingston ram also for my macbook,


and also those using corsair ram and also mushkin ram, can tell us what ram product number, because i think other who want to upgrade can see and find the same product number of ram and put into their mac because others have use it without no problem and this will make those who want to upgrade feel save.

as my experience in my dad DDR667
upgrade from 1Gb to 2Gb
get slower, i feel
