Wonder anyone connect MBP 13" to HDMI LCD b4 ?? how ah ?? =P

Understand appl only have mini display port to DVI cable.... can we get DIV to HDMI cable connect with apple cable and to HDMI LCD input ??

will it be different in terms of display quality ??

should be the same but audio shud be connected separately as MDP doesnt support audio. It also depends on your tv panel's quality

im using mini displayport to HDMI cable. i dont think its available in malaysia. i ordered form US, monoprice.com. but there's another adapter (i forgot the brand and price) which supports audio as well. try google

I'm using Mini-Display Port > DVI Adapter. Then, DVI-HDMI Cable to 52" HDTV. I'm using MacBook Aluminium 2.4Ghz.

its currently abt rm300 for 2 pieces of 2GB

its generally feels more smoother/responsive..

general guidelines for myself is, when there is pageout occurs.. meaning there is not enough RAM for ur mac to work with

i upgraded my mbp 13" (mid 2009) from 2GB to 4GB ram (regular ddr3 corsair sodimm sticks), and under process/activity viewer macos has access to 3.75GB out of 4GB of ram of which 0.25GB is for use with 9400M

thanks all provided the info about DVI-HDMI .. really appreciate tat. Will drop by mac city lepak this weekend. =P

MBP 13" uses DDR3 not DDR2

DDR3 2GB SODIMM currently is RM150-RM155 per stick

Can someone recommend me the shop in Lowyat Plaza that sells DDR3 2x2gb ram for the MAC 13". what's the best brand to get? I reckon corsair?

I head MBP very picky on ram..so is better upgrade the ram at apple center. EPIcenter give the best price on upgrading ram add Rm299 for 4GB.

However, some user claim and prove is stable for using outside ram like kingstan & corsair... as for me i still considering.

some ppl have sucessfully upgraded theirs using corsair or kingston and some are having problems.

i dun think intel/nvidia based MBP are picky on ram..

as long as its jedec compliant, it should not be a problem...

i won be suprised epicentre will oso use standard ram for the upgrades

last i check.. apple compatible ram 2GB DDR3 SODIMM costs rm180 a pop

@jinaun,
I'm pretty sure the Apple Resellers will give U KTA RAMs; which are basically Kingston RAMS but tested for compatibility with Apple products.

i agree bigger resellers would use KTA or other certified RAM for apple to avoid any complications but i do know of some smaller reseller/retailers that would use normal kingston/etc rams

but i think most of the ram problem with apple are on ddr2, where else i've oledi tested 3 macbooks pros that uses standard ddr3 and they works well , touch wood

@jinaun,
I once had a very unscrupulous dealer servicing my Macs (for the office). He would charge us KTA RAM prices but give us rubbish RAMs. When I finally found out and checked, I sacked him immediately and told all my known associates about his doing. I think I've got Hyundai RAMs or well the RAMs actually had this Hyundai stickers.

I had such people. Just cause I'm female they think I know nuts about KTA and KVA RAM. It's a good thing I switched from Windows to Mac so they couldn't cheat me anymore!

LOL, it seems like the same/similar supplier is doing that everywhere around. I had a client whom affected too. They're being charged premium price for Value RAM.

Things about RAM is the manufacturer change the chip supplier time to time. Even the same brand that been tested to work will yield a different result because the chips are different. Apple only uses a few OEM supplier for their RAM. The best if you could get the same chip/manufacturer. Cause apple is using them also mar

i know my own machine

n there are places that sell DDR3 2GB SODIMM for around rm120-130 per stick
