QUOTE(xandman @ Oct 5 2011, 07:23 PM) not expensive bro. thats y i showed u the force 3...it's cheap! i m using it and got it at 635 only... yes it is possible to stuff a few HDD into a casing and raid it.

To all bros.. last night i had my mini upgraded to 8gb.. i bought the KVR one..tortured it with memtest..sleep and everything goes smoothly as for now..hopefully it will last.. as for the VRAM wise, it was changed from 288 to 512..now i can use aperture without sluggish anymore..before this it is sluggish like hell..now not anymore.. anyone who dont give it a try yet, please do so..i bought mine at 64 for 4gb.. cheers.

please take note that..KVR rams doesnt work as same like the ram manufactured for apple..the response is slightly slower.. i did on my new model mac mini..and i notice its slightly slower to respond.
if comparing to the value of money, it is still acceptable. cheap ram but slow performance.

QUOTE(xaw5126 @ Feb 23 2012, 11:54 AM) KTA vs Apple RAM should have no difference… KTA is Kingston RAM set to Apple specifications. @izzi_guy did you do any testing, to verify? cos I used KVR on my iMac … no difference … bro..im using KVR 1333 4gb x2. seems like it quite slow responding..i open application like excel ot aperture, it takes some time to load..no like quick enough although using 8gb ram.. what happened do you think in my situation?
