I have been looking to see how much I can pick up PC3-8500 DDR3 1066 MHz type RAM 8GB (2x4GB) and can't seem to find it under $300.


Anyone able to get it cheaper and where if so.

Newegg has it for $105 shipped x2 = $210. It was $230 for two a few days ago.

You haven't been searching hard enough ;)
 
I believe the implication is that 4x2 is the correct way to describe your memory needs. I think we all knew what you were talking about.

I did a trade with the dealer who sold me my 13, he took back the 2x2 in trade. I got my upgrade for $180.
Try this with your dealer, or with any memory dealer.

I just bought two of these yesterday. Should come on Monday. You can get a few dollars back if you have a Bing cashback account.

2x4GB or 2x4 is the correct terminology, not 4x2 or 4GBx2. Just like you would say "I need two 4GB sticks of RAM".

I am not very competent yet in hardware changes/upgrades but this post:

does not imply that 4 slots can be used?

no...could mean 4 slots with 2gb or 4gb in 2 slots.

all about interpretation.

the imac has 4 slots , macbook pro has 2.....that being said....ill let you fill in the blanks.

Look closer. 1 in 5 Newegg buyers say these RAM chips are crap.

Yes, saw that but mine worked fine. Also, if you look at the individual 4GB SODIMM it has 82% for 5 stars/18% 4 stars - not sure what is up with the difference between the single and 2 set (of the same SODIMM) rating. They have a decent return policy if they don't work. This was my first foray into G Skill ram and so far so good, can't speak for everyone else's experience.
