i think it's best if after u install ur newly not apple ram one, u do a hardware test. i did like that before, so, if anything problem u can go to the shop and try to change for new one. can get 1 on 1 change before 1 week.

Went asking around at Lowyat the other day and found that Compuzone has Kingston and Corsair and they would install and test out for you before purchase.

hy

i want to ask somthing

anyone who buy the OWC from macsales had ever trade in their old ram to get the rebate?how long is the process?

and also if you buy from any lowyatt store let say kingston RAM can we trade in the old ram?

i am using old MBP 2.4ghz DDR2. thinking to upgrade to 4gb.

most shops in lowyat wouldnt want to accept trade in, unless you go for a second hand parts shop (there are a few in lowyat)
but, for me i would prefer posting in garage sale letting go the ram
you will get top up less that way

bought my ram from OWC but i dont remember them having trading program.

yup, i m using it so far so good they allowed testing, also 1 week 1:1 exchange

megatron, have you any idea how much does 2GB DDR3 RAM costs nowadays?

bro

saw ur postings here n there

why not u go the shop n find out

@megatron007
RM499 for mac RAM or Kingston's?

finally got myself a pair of 2GB DDR3-1066 Corsair RAM~~ total RM352. working like a charm (so far)

do u mind to share with me more specific wat is "MAC" ram? so far i know apple never produce any RAM module nor processor

Mac RAM = RAM made by 3rd party manufacturers based on Apple's memory specification. I don't know what is the exact difference compared to normal RAM.

You are right when you say there is no such thing Apple branded memory. Even the ones that ship from Apple is Samsung/Hynix branded.

@megatron007
Yes Apple don't produce any RAM but what I meant from mac RAM is RAM that's been certified by Apple to be fully compatible with their product.

That's why Kingston have 2 brand:

KTA = Apple Certified Kingston RAM
KVR = Kingston Value RAM (normal over the shelf ones)

Apple certified RAMs are more expensive than those normal ones.

hi guys i own a macbook pro 13" 2.26Hz 2GB RAM 160GB HD

im looking to upgrade my RAM to 4GB, may i get recommendation on which brand to go with ?

Im looking for a good quality, good performance RAM

And if possible quote the price of the RAM as well.

Answering my question would be much appreciated

Thank you in advance

does anyone knows if the ram for macbook is the same for imac?

Which model of iMac and which model of MacBook, there are many revision. If they are the similar era, yes they will work.

i upgrade mine to 4gb (2+2).. both kingston kvr-1066 just rm140 each :-)..

may i know your ram speed, because i do upgrade to 4GB mushkin ram and its boost up my 1066Mhz to 1333Mhz, so far no problem but i got 1 panic kernel when my brother open everything and it stuck a while then kernel panic happen. i googling around and read people said that their battery performance drop a while but i don't think it still the same, 4 to 5 hour battery life for me. im using macbook pro 13" and mushkin enhanced 2x2GB by the way. price rm168 per piece.
