Hello guys
I have a question about RAM .
I’ve just purchased the Mac dual 2.7 Ghz.
I’m gonna be running a lot of apps. Don’t want to name them all – but from platinum waves.native komplete 2 to BFD and most spectrasonics products.
I’m planning to get 3 gig of RAM total (for now) from third party comp.
I’ve heard that people are buying RAM for Mac from companies like CRUCIAL,KINGSTON, RAMJET ,CORSAIR or SIMPLETECH.
Except Kingston where price is little higher, all other comp. sell 1 GB for about 120$ - 130 $.
And now the question – Anybody can recommend me what would be best choice (which brand)for my 2.7 Ghz Mac? or it does not really matter which I will go with? I would appreciate any answers.


Thanks for your time

Milan

It is important that the Serial Presence Detect settings on the module are correctly set for the Macintosh. You cannot tell this from the brand name or the published specification. A PC3200 module from a brand name, like Crucial or Kingston, might be a perfectly good module for PC but may not work in a Mac if it wasn't programmed for the Mac. So you can't just say "Brand x is good" because it matters which specific model of memory it is.

Your best bet is to buy from a reputable seller who tests and guarantees their memory in your specific model of Mac, offers a lifetime warranty, and a no-cost return if it doesn't work.

Thanks
