Bought ram today, but I'm worried it might be the wrong stuff...

[Bootsie]

I have been waiting to see if newegg does another sale on Ram, and today they had $10 off this...

So I jumped on it, but now I think I might have needed this instead! Crap!

So what is the difference 10600, and 10666?!

Can someone please tell me if I bought the right stuff... thanks!

10600 vs 10666
value vs performance

You are fine with your purchase.

 

[terzinator]

so the 10600 is "value"

and the 10666 is "performance"?

what's the diff? (they're both the same price at newegg.)

There is absolutely no difference between 10600 and 10666. It's a rounding thing. people chose to round the number in different ways, but it's all exactly the same memory. Well...assuming all other stats are equal.

It's all the same stuff. Anyone trying to say one is performance and one is value is just pulling it out of...somewhere.

There is no difference. Apparently "Mac savvy tech".... isn't.
