Greetings lowyat members,

Pardon my impoliteness by asking a question at my first post But I would appreciate any suggestion that you guys may have,

I am using a 13' Late MacBook Pro 2011, with a 2.4Ghz i5 core, 4Gb RAM.

The question im having is about upgrading my RAM to 16Gb (either 1600MHz or 1333Mhz)

Currently my RAM type & speed is DDR3 & 1333Mhz.

So the question is,

Would upgrading to 16Gb 16000Mhz rather than 16Gb 1333Mhz RAM be a decent thing to do? As in, how much difference would 16000Mhz or 1333Mhz make??

I have been reading here, that 16000Mhz apperantly works with late 2011 i5 core....

And if this post hasn't bore you already... another thing that i would like to know before buying RAM for my mac,
- how would i know what latency of RAM to get?
- how would i know what voltage of RAM should I get?

and most importantly....where can buy ~~


Note - I will be using the computer with parallels and doing a lot of biology analysis (so i need a big ram)

Thanks in advance, any help pointing to more detail would be great!
