I would be the first one before this to say that the RAM you use may not affect your performance. I am now retracting back that statement.

Bought a pair of 4GB KVR Kingston to upgrade a 13" Pro. Immediately I noticed that :-

1. Power reading is all over the place, running down the battery about 2 hours faster.

2. The system feels sluggish, especially when you do a lot of encoding movies.

Did the whole memtest thing, nothing came out. In the end, installed it in a Windows notebook and did diagnostic, no problem.

Or maybe it was just the Kingstom ram. Anyway, ordered A-spec ram and things are running much-much better. Corsair at RM120 for 4GB.
