did i buy the right ram

If you DID buy tge I would return it as soon as possible, there have been reports of dangerous levels of radiation in it.
 
Unfortunately I bought some bad Corsair RAM. My Mac kept beeping 3 times and told me that the RAM was loose when it was not. Now I'm back to the stock 4GB RAM until I get a replacement for the faulty Corsair RAM

Yup. Had this problem too. Was it Value RAM? I would get the 3 beeps of death under heavy work loads. Luckily I had 8gb of Samsung RAM lying around from another laptop I had, and it worked. But stil going with Crucial when I can afford it

Yes. It was Corsair Value ram that I got on Amazon that was recommended when I bought my MacBook.

After going to the apple forums, someone told me a value ram is not good for MBPs. Just replaced with Crucial today

When you say value do you mean it was on offer?

How is the crucial one treating you?

Nope. It literally said "Value RAM" on the package. Lol. Someone on the apple forums saw my post, and did the same thing as me, and advised me of my mistake

Crucial RAM is amazing as always. It's what I should have got. I have a Crucial M4 to back it up too :)
