Been reading few last of replies here..
I dont know about the new Macbook Pro 2011, but I'm using the KVR for my Mid 2010 having no problem.

Most of the feedback here is related to slow load/open application.. Aint that related to speed of your Harddisk? Maybe try to change SSD?

Regarding the RAM, if it failed the Memtest, then certainly those installed RAM have problem..but as for loading speed opening an application, i dont think it play a major role.

Hi guys, I have a few questions regarding iMac 2011 ram since I'm planning to upgrade the existing 4GB to 12GB ( add another 2X4GB stick );

1. Any recommended brand?

2. Where can i find shop that sells 2X4GB kit around selangor / kl? Most of them just sell single 4GB stick.

3. http://www.lelong.com.my/crucial-4gb-1333m...3-02-Sale-P.htm - Will this work as dual channel since i bought it separately ( not 2X4GB kit ). I've read somewhere that dual channel 2x4GB kit ram is compatible & has been tested by manufacture to pair together, unlike separate stick. Is it true?

TQ!

1. Kingston KTA
2. try garage sales section, i came across a few sellers

either get the Corsair MAC memory or KTA.. i do sell them too

Anyone over here ever did RAID on your Mac? and which RAID setting is good for performance, as I'm so much in video editing and 3D rendering.

Anyone here knows where to get DDR2 server RAM for early 2008 MacPro? (not from the net please)

For non critical data you can setup raid 0 for speed and performance.
For critical data you better go for raid 5 for descent performance and speed.

is this Raid applicable for Macbook with 2 disks?

Yes you can utilize apple software raid but.
Unless you are modding ur MBP by utilizing the DVD drive with a HDD otherwise you can't Raid on it.
Second choice is that you to get an external Enclosure with Raid capability and run it using either Firewire 800 or Thunderbold.

Software RAID is nothing near a proper hardware controlled, monitored and cached RAID. But have to fork out more, much more. For stability, we recommend SAS drives. For performance we recommend SSDs. Or you can mix both up for balance.

bought kingston kta rams 4gbx2 at rm100 per pc at low yat..macbook pro seems a bit faster now.

When u said combination of SAS and SSD, which RAID you mean?0,1 or 5?

By mixing them doesn't mean to RAID them together. It's more like, SSDs for boot and programs. SAS Drives for data and scratch disk. There are alot of possibility with RAID configurations, you have to explore which suits your needs and budget.

Hi Guys.... just got a 4GB MBP... wat are my options for a 16GB upgrade?
i understand that it can take up to 16GB capcity

Yup it can take up to 16gb ram.
I'm running on 16gb now with ssd.

firstly, why do you need 16GB memory?
what applications will you be using?

Does he upgrading to 16gb concern u?

I'm just asking what type of applications will he be using as 16GB is a lot and cost a bomb
does it concern you?

Mainly virtualization n development work for deployment environment. Is it very expensive?

macsales is selling for $204.99
if you get it in local stores it will cost nearly Rm1000
i believe 8GB should be sufficient unless you're willing to pay for the 16GB
