Newegg has my vote. In terms of brands there are lots of good ones out there. Crucial or Kingston are just a few.

I'm also unsure what RAM will work for my 15" MBP (early 2011), would this one work??

I've always used Kingston RAM and they've never let me down.

For the 2011 models, this would be the right one....

Can you find a link to 8GB RAM for MBP 2011, from amazon. I have amazon prime 🙂

Get 1333MHz, not 1067

So 2 of these?

So 2 of these?

I would go for 2 of these

they are especially tested on mac compatibility. (probably it would not make a difference, don't know exactly)

I'll find out tommorow how I works out.

Makes no difference at all, it's the same thing, just more expensive.

thanks for the insight, that's something I asked myself since the intel switch 😀

Always newegg. And be sure to read the reviews as a lot of users have macs and report how the memory fares for them.

Hi guys I ended buying some local ram Strontium http://www.strontium.biz/products/memory-modules/notebook-memory/ddr3-4gb-1066mhz

from a store, was $40 USD or $50 SGD which was pretty cheap considering it was branded as MAC memory specifically, it came with lifetime warranty, and was selling for $69 SGD at another shop, so all in all I paid $100 which was WAY cheaper than Kingstons $120 SGD for Valuram or much more for the mac branded ones.

branding something as Apple/Mac specific is a scam to be able to charge more for it, they have the same guts as "normal" computers.

Was this a mistake? That memory is for an iMac, not a MBP.

iMacs use laptop RAM.
