Greeting to all. I'm a new MBP user. just upgraded from 4G to 8G. first I tried to buy those as label compatible ram for macbook from lowyat. after checking around. some shops claim they are not selling these Ram and if I want I need to go to Time Square apple HQ.

So I come across Viewnet and ask them about these ram. they told me to try Kingston KVR1333D3S9 4G and just cost RM138 for 2x4G. the sale assitant told me if they ram has problem I can return to them. Since it is not very expensive. I give it a tried. after tested for over loop run. the ram looks OK and working great.

Hope this help those are looking for a upgrade.


Cheers!

Jeffery

looks like the ram became cheaper and cheaper. haha

for me I will not try crucial ram anymore. that time I bought the ram for RM1200 a pair of perfect twin 2.2.2.5 ram so called and with lifetime warranty. after using for 1 year + the ram let me down and when I sent back for warranty they give me another type of normal ram and after 3months, 1 of the stick has problem again.

now I don't dare to use crucial anymore. smile.gif

I actually stick to Kingston when I using PC.

I have to make sure the RAM specs meet the same as what I currently using right?
-DDR2 PC2-6400

you can refer to these price list. I'm sure they have but DDR2 but the max ram size are 2G only.
