QUOTE(aneip @ May 11 2011, 01:34 PM) Got mushkin 2x4GB for RM246 yesterday. Unfortunately the shop give me 1333Mhz. It's actually a simple mistake. Told them I need ram for mbp 2010 and straight away the seller said need to use 1066Mhz. So I said OK. Unfortunately he take 1333Mhz. I also don't realize. Dam... That's really cheap!After install, my mbp will not boot. Mixed 1 old 2gb and 1 new 4gb it boot fine. Dunno why the mbp 2010 really can't run on 1333Mhz. When I mixed it will auto underclock the 1333Mhz so it's will run fine. After searching around, I use thaipoon burner (windows - need to install windows for this.) software to change the memory data from 1333 to 1066. Just need to change 1 stick. Fortunately the mushkin memory allow write access to memory data. Now running 8GB. Mind telling me where did you purchased it? |

I just got myself a 2x 4gb of Kingston KVR 1333 ram for my MBP 13" (2011).....
Bought it for Rm250 at Digital Mall... Works perfectly.... Don't bother buying KTA ram which is double the price of the KVR ram.... |

QUOTE(D.Sync @ Oct 6 2011, 04:18 PM) Is there the need to purchase Apple Certified RAM instead of normal one? Don't bother with the KTA rams....Like Mushkin, there are both Apple Certified (brand # 976647) and non Apple Certified (brand #991647). The price for Apple Certified one are double than that of non-certified. So hard trying to figure out a suitable and relatively priced RAM for the upgrade to 8GB. I myself is using 2 x 4gb KVR rams.... Runs flawlessly.... |
