And what is the best brand known to work ?

i think someone shld update the first page to include some info on the different kinds of RAMS suitable, the most recommended brands, most ideal place to get them, and so on.. wld do a great deed for the newcomers..

^ strongly agreed from what i know...

OWC / crucial = the best, but cannot get locally

kingston KTA / apple original = too expensive, but adding the rm350 (somewhere around that price, forgot actual price) when customizing a mac at the online store is worth it, since almost no one wanna buy 2x1gb anyway

corsair / mushkin = probably best choice, no (or very few) compatibility issues, n price juz slightly more expensive than kingston KVR, maybe rm10-30 like that

kingston KVR = if lucky, can work. but quite a few incompatibility problems reported around

Btw, Happy Birthday Dvlzplayground!

hahaha thanks

Any idea where I can get them ? Altho my i5 is 4gb, it's not enough when I go full power squeezzing process of editing tiff files converted from raw + filters and whatnots. It'll start to crawl....

Edited : I just saw the price list in C-Zone. KINGSTON PC1066 D3/ CORSAIR PC1066 D3 Notebook Ram 2GB RM175 / 4GB RM600. Is this the one ?

So using KVR is okay right? I bought some KVR ram for my iMac. My vid card went kaput a few days after I installed it. COULD IT BE RELATED ZOMG... or did I static'd while installing and blew up the vid card.

Just upgraded the RAM to 4gb and feels super fast. It's from strontium ... what a weird name.

Running Win7 in parallels is soooo smooth.

Hey bro, how come your ram's speed is 1333MHZ when u have 2x2GB of 1066MHZ running?

Mine is only 1067MHZ even though i have 2x2GB of 1067MHZ on my mbp.. Is that probably affect by the brand of the ram too? I got my ram upgrade when bought it from machine..

wow 1333 MHz... i wonder how does that happen good for u!

seems like that's the one. wait is 4gb rm600 now?

Just upgraded last week, got the RAM from macsales.com, work like charm. It's good to have 4GB of ram, nw i can run all sorts of applications without feeling the lag

ok thanks, will look into getting that then. Ya it's RM600 as stated there. hmm I didn't keep track of the pricing. is RM600 a good deal? I'm thinking of just upgrading with another 4gb (2gbx2).

4Gb rm600 should be single module 4Gb
i'm looking into it as well, but the price seem killing my pocket

so 1333Mhz ram will got downclock by mac? still run at 1066?

depends. i read somewhere that the new i5 and i7 is able to accept 1333mhz as this is the hardware specs of i5/i7. I have no idea why apple puts in 1066mhz instead.

RM600 not that bad. I think I saw OWC price for 2 sticks of 4GB each will cost a total of around the same I think. Wait till I get another MB then can swap 4GB there and get 8GB on another. Last time I saw the price it was nearly 1k

firstly, 1333 mhz is quite new
when apple intro unibody mac, only 1066 available in market, the board only take 1066 ( as FSB rating)
and so far, no i5/i7 chip on mac yet

new 27" imac has desktop class i5.

yea that's for macbook, i'm referring to imac actually.

Is OCZ good?
