Run some test..Verify the ram is working Ok.Thanks QUOTE(Mac Man @ LYF @ May 4 2012, 02:30 PM) Kingston KTA or Corsair Mac Memory are good buy. Installation maybe they charge also. lolDont buy at apple retail shop, price might double or triple. |

I did not use the stock HDD. Running RAID-0 SSD, so the partition have to be re-created.
