Locally, dunno, but you can get OWC stuff from macsales.com.

I don't think there's a 16GB DDR3 module at all.

Really? That cheap? What do you think about Apple's "official" RAM? See here: http://store.apple.com/my/memorymodel/ME_2_4_MACMINI
Seems a bit pricey to me.

its actually the same, just that those are certified ones by apple

I just got myself a 2x 4gb of Kingston KVR 1333 ram for my MBP 13" (2011).....
Bought it for Rm250 at Digital Mall...

Works perfectly.... Don't bother buying KTA ram which is double the price of the KVR ram....
*
Do you know the timing of the ram?

Are you sure that there's apple certified SSD in the normal market?

@ forger
1. IINM, OWC doesn't have resellers. so please get it directly smile.gif
2. last time I asked, they wanted RM900 to replace the drive, cos it was out of warranty. at that price i'd disable the drive n use an external USB drive smile.gif
*
is that possible?
i tried using mba superdrive but it wouldnt work

Hi, this might've been covered many many times before! so sorry to ask again.

Is there a specific HDD that is used when I want to swap my current 250gb to a 500gb one? Using a MacBook late 08/09. The version before those new 13inch MBP range.

I've just been quoted 900 to swap it at machines.....is that "normal" pricing?

feedback appreciated!
*
not normal at all.
it cost only less than rm200 in stores

momentux xt 500 ssd/hd hybrid and 1333 2 x 4gb ram perfect combo, unless you have enough dosh go for full ssd, but some of the ssd still unstable my 2 cents

I heard seagate hybrid ssd consumes more battery.
Saw it on the seagate forum.

I wonder why they don't offer an option for both sad.gif
PhysX probably. Or because I'm complete noob when it comes to Ati gfx.
Mine's using the HD6490 right now.
How good does it handle for newer games in windows? (It's dual booted with Win7 btw)
*
I believe it's because the dispute between intel and nvidia last time.
Correct me if I'm wrong
