Opinions or comments?

4 GB RAM on my MacBookPro... I would like to upgrade is but both slots are full.

My hardware reading skills are feeling a little shaky... Is the CanadaRAM or CricialRAM going to hurt anything?

This is what I have... Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Hmm...

 - AppleStoreOnline -  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 = $420.00
     http://store.apple.com/ca/memorymodel/ME_15_24_MBP_ICI5
OR
 - CanadaRAM - Kingston KTA-MB1333/4Gx2 = $76.00

OR
 - Crucial - $52.00
    http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=A9D8C4E7A5CA7304
    8GB Kit (4GBx2)  
    DDR3 PC3-8500
    CL=7
    Unbuffered - NON-ECC • DDR3-1066 • 1.5V • 512Meg x 64 •   •  Part #: CT1226751



Is this as brain dead a choice as I think it is? 
(420 / 76) = (552/100)


Clearly I should pay 552% more cause it's got an apple on it!

  1. I always buy my RAM upgrades from http://www.macsales.com/

    They have a nice RAM selector, based on your MacBook Pro model, just to make sure you get the right stuff. I currently have 8gb from them in my MacBook Pro and all has been fine for months.

  2. Thanks Dave,

    That works too. I wish I could upgrade past 8MB.
