I'm using KTV, no problem.
used for almost 2 months already

ktv how much is that price for 8gb?

around RM140+-

will try on lowyat on tmr morning thx for ur information.. KTV is kingstone right? or what is the full name that i should looking at?

KTV stands for Kingston Value Ram.
bring your mac along.
ask them to test it before purchasing

ya one more thing. plan to buy external HDD too but i see some are specify to mac and some are normal but both actually can use in mac too is that true? because for mac only is slightly expensive compare to normal. is firewire important too?

if you're getting an ext hdd, its best to get Seagate GoFlex range.
the I/O is upgradeable, so don't have to worry about it going out of date

I have this 1TB maxtor external HDD I bought some 3 years ago.. use it for my window files... "strangely" enough my mac can read it and I can transfer my old files in the HDD to my imac... I always thought this can't be done because of the different formatting.. and of the things that keep me delaying for getting into macs...

Kingston Value Ram = KVR and not KTV

FAT32 formatted drives are readable on both Mac and Windows. It is however limited to 4GB file handling.

for 2x4GB

KTV lol. karaoke ahh??

even if the drive is a NTFS also nothing weird. OSX can read NTFS...u can open files and copy the files from the hdd no problem. it's the writing / pasting / deleting part OSX cannot do without 3rd party apps

Happy to report that KVR1333D3S9/4G works on my iMac. I just install 2x4GB so now I have 12GB total. Installation is painless for less than 5 minutes. The hardest part is lifting the iMac

I bought the RAM at lowyat Cycom for RM67 a piece. I bought 3 sticks for RM200. Regret not buying 4... funny that price of the same stick with exactly same brand differ from shop to shop in lowyat... some shop is selling for RM80 and cannot bargain.

Guys i dunno whether this question would be related to mac section or not...but since ill be doing it on my mac...so i assume it would fit here...
anyway here goes...
i plan to have a centralized place for all my media needs...
so was wondering...
a DAS + Mac to do the sharing and networking part or a dedicated NAS is better? Which would produce better performance?
Medias will be shared between a few laptops, desktops and some media players.
Your help is much needed!

Thanks!

DAS/NAS?
what is that? I've never heard of such thing.
its a hardware or software?

DAS = Desktop attached storage
NAS = Network attached storage

In my opinion, DAS + Mac will do nicely. You can also activate sharing on iTunes for your music.
Anyway, sharing a hard disk on a mac is very easy.

I pick DAS. Assuming that your media here are in the iTunes library, you can easily Home-Sharing them around your Macs. If they aren't,
a NAS may be required.

I moved on from a NAS (WD ShareSpace) to a DAS(Promise Pegasus), but I'm sharing files around based on Home-Sharing in iTunes. If I do need to swap files over, AirDrop works irregardless where the files are in any of my Macs.

DAS has that connected advantage, and in my case, the TB connectivity is exponentially better than even a Gigabit-Ethernet-connected NAS. My previous NAS is connected to the Time Capsule, therefore accessible wireless to any computers in the network. But the side-effect to that is it clogs up the bandwidth, especially wen dealing with webpages/activities that requires them. Since my move to the Pegasus, even simple surfing on the Mini felt faster without having to use that bandwidth to access the NAS.

Thanks lim and string!
very helpful indeed!
now i know what to do already!

Hey what RAM would you recommend to upgrade a 15" i7 mid 2010 MBP?
