ddr3 sodimm? even a 2x2gb kit is more than rm200 oh

yesterday went there but no stock... hai.

I think have to order crucial from Amazon lor... no choice lah.

i upgraded 2x4GB muskin 1066 DDR3 ram few days ago. ran apple hardware test(although most say not realiable), normal web surfing, light photoshopping and played some games. so far so good.

*btw, i'm using MBP 15" 2010, bought it end of Q3.

mushkin 991644 4GB PC3-8500 (DDR3 1066MHz). bought @ compuzone digital mall. RM125 per stick.

I see what you mean. That's actually 2 x 8GB modules. Nice, I didn't know the MBP supports up to 16GB. very good to know. A bit overpriced though.

Thanks for the advice.

I have upgraded my MacBook unibody:

1. Stock 2 GB RAM upped to 8GB (4GB X 2) Corsairs. About RM270.
Salesperson helped to change the RAM. My 1st Mac, so it was educational to see how it is done.
We tried 4GB first and then 8GB - not sure if it will work. - It works!!.
Result: Noticeable faster. I don't have heavy duty programs but still pleased with the result.
Recommend RAM upgrade for best bang for the buck outcome.

2. Replaced Stock Hitachi 160GB 54000 rpm with Hitachi 500GB 7200rpm drive.
Sourced from OWC, Also got an external USB 3.0 casing and back-up software bundle promo.
Altogether RM354 including shipping. Worth it as a comparable WD 7200rpm at that time was RM260+ (but no stock!!).
Only problem - had to wait almost 1 month for shipment to arrive.
Thanks to Soon Wai's advice, the installation was a breeze, using the new HDD in external casing first, doing a carbon copy clone and then switching the HDD inside. Some steps in between but Carbon Clone is very good in doing step by step guide.
Boot up, and all is well.
Except MS Office 2011. Lost activation and had to reinstall from ori disc again. Then all is OK. Not sure if other programs are affected as I have not tried them all since changing the HDD.
Result of HDD upgrade - not as noticeable as RAM upgrade. But much more space now. Drive is also very quiet like the stock drive.

Will use old HDD as back up disk and continue. No more hardware upgrades - I think.

Thank you Soon Wai. Appreciate your tips as it helped me to prepare.

I have 2010 mbp 15inch i5. Was thinking to upgrade my RAM, right now im using the default ram(2x2gb 1067 dd3). Is it possible to upgrade to 8gb 1333 DDR3?

hi guys,

thinking to upgrade the 4gb ram of the MBP to 8gb. is there any shops in LYP that actually does trade-in (take the old RAM back?)? or do i need to sell them over at garage sales?

thanks...

Roger that bro...

Add: Machines having promo now. ACPP + 2x 4GB ram @ RM1398 for 13 inch MBP. ACPP + 2x 4GB ram for 15 and 17 inch 2 RM1798. Think i might go for that

i am using imac 2010 and just purchase OWC 4GB ram for upgrade online..any bros using this ram?? any problem?

actually my purpose of buying 1333 is bcuz next time at least got higher resale value?
but oh well, already bought it so yeahhh

i think need to do some homework on how to wipe my netbook hd and put inside my umb ady

How long have you been using the Vertex 2...?

I've got mine for 4 months already, 240GB , more than half filled, heavy downloading, just updated to 10.6.8...

and i've tested it, 13 seconds from startup chime to desktop...

actually the more free space (by percentage of the hdd total space), the faster ur computer will run. but not that noticeable la
i think high performance ram is only for overclocking purposes. if u dont overclock, they will perform just like standard ram. the ram speed is tied to ur cpu's FSB. correct me if im wrong.

try adjust the ram made available for ur virtual machine. maybe half of ur total ram? 2gb is fine for me... for fusion3 + win7 32-bit la. upgrade to 8gb if u dont think u have enough.

yea. brand new ddr2 2gb was about rm80-90. really cannot understand RAM economics haha
