MP memory with some holiday cheer

Found these 4GB 1333's on superbiiz by accident. Sweet price and if you use "HOLIDAYCHEER" you get an additional $15 off:

Ordered 4 today and will report back once I get them tested in my 2010 MP.

cheers

The labels will be different.

My order has shipped so I should have them early this next week. I'll report back after installing them.

cheers

Got the Super Talent 1333 RAM today. The RAM chips are made by Hynix:
http://www.hynix.com/gl/index.jsp

16 GB (4x4GB in single channel configuration) dropped right in and the MP booted in 30 seconds. I had a 3x2GB (triple channel configuration) previously which booted in 26 seconds. The slower boot time is consistent with the larger memory check in POST.

For the curious, Geekbench dropped ~1% with the single channel (16 GB) config compared to the triple channel config.

edit: The coupon code I listed in the original post has expired ............ but the price has dropped also.

cheers
JohnG

It's not much of a saving compared to a true and tried brand like OWC.

But thanks for the link nonetheless.
