Could you perhaps link me some of those sites you found? Hmm, I tried to do some research into some modules but I found no other info about the G.Skill set from anywhere except Newegg. As I had said, I have had this memory in mine for about 6 months now and have not had a single issue with the memory, or anything else for that matter ) I found that there are ALOT of MBP owners using this same chip with great success and even noticing improvements compared to the stock memory and other 4GIG chips. Yeah, I looked at several myself before buying this set reading the reviews closely from multiple sites, not just Newegg. I wonder what benefit they get by rebranding? It would still end up being cheaper than OWC.ĮDIT: From the gallery closeup you can actually see the chip is made by Samsung. Unfortunately the CAD price is a little higher than the USD, and shipping is not free: so I'll have to consider it. I thought I had taken a look at GSkill already and found negative reviews, but this seems to be a different chip since I can't find those reviews on there. But I've been turned off by various negative user reviews. I know that logically, any RAM with similar spec (latency, frequency) should work fine. If interested, I use the following chip (bought two): (currently at $89 each) I run GNS3 on mine so i NEED that additional memory when i lab up several routers. Same MBP as you with the i7 and been using 8Gig of GSkill with no issues at all. I guess this is the downside to having a switchable GPU? Just seems kind of lame that I can't just go and buy any stick of RAM and be sure that it works. Total would probably come out to $250 CAD if customs doesn't add on to that. Has anyone here with a Macbook Pro 6,2 upgraded to 8GB of RAM? If so, what vendor (and model num if you know it) and what are your experiences?įor reference, this is the OWC RAM I am contemplating ( ), but it still seems a little expensive, especially considering I have to factor in USD -> CAD conversion and shipping. That said, OWC seems to be the only brand of RAM that hasn't been experiencing problems with this particular model of Macbook Pro. Once the Nvidia chip kicked in, the issues would go away.Įven OWC's NuRAM brand has been having issues, but I haven't heard of anything from OWC itself. My issue is that after narrowing it down to a few options, I read the customer reviews for the models and found that a lot of people were complaining that when they put 2x4GB sticks into their Macbook Pro i7, it would cause flickering and screen tearing issues when the Intel GPU is initialized.

I found the cheapest set I could get for 2x4GB was just above $200.

With my old Macbook I upgraded using Corsair "Apple ready" RAM for the sake of eliminating any possible compatibility issues with latency or frequencies, and because it was relatively cheap.īut now, it looks like 4GB sticks of RAM are still some novelty item, because they're still priced pretty high. I've been looking around a lot and I found some from vendors like G-Skill, Mushkin, OWC, Crucial, and Corsair.
