Wah never heard before. I just read E-book Macworld they advertise tell about OWC specialist in Mac. Then after order and make payment. I was go through Apple discussion site and a lot of complain regarding on upgrading 4GB. I also wondering why got problem because the older ram which is 2GB using same brand and same chip Micron from Singapore got no problem at all but after upgrade 4GB give problem. Not answer until now. Huhu sad.gif

i bought from machines..they offer free upgrade that time, swapped 1 stick of 1gb ram to 2gb. its Kingston ram..

initially got issues.. machine would crash/hang.. boot that time do funny things..went back to Machines and the fella changed the ram slots, swapped 1x1gb (original Apple) with the 1x2gb (Kingston) placement.. then it works fine until now.

the machine is very fast for my usage..so i don't need 4GB ram.. i do admit i want it. but no use lah.. Mac already so fast..not like Windows..ram hungry.

Currently using Transcend modules for MBP, ordered from ramjet.
Used to have a MB White with Crucial modules.
Generally from what I can tell as long as the timing and SPD settings on the modules are correct, it should run fine.

I use Macbook white and just upgraded my RAM to 4Gig. But my question to all mac experts in here, " Can we use different RAM Brand when upgrading the RAM , EXP : BANK SLOT 1 used Corsair 2G DDR2 RAM and the BANK SLOT 2 used Kingston 2G DDR2 RAM and the speed(MHz) for both RAM are same (667MHz) ? " To all Mac Sifu's hoping you guys can help with this ..... tongue.gif yawn.gif

In theory should be ok. I do know that unofficially you can get 6GB of ram in the unibody MB/MBP with a 2GB+4GB solution.

Using Kingston Valueram 4GB(2x2GB) DDR3 1066 on my Macbook Alu...so far so good...Got a lot faster than 2GB? I'm not sure, I upgraded to 4GB once I bought it.
