G.SKILL RAM upgrade

Yes I have it works fine.

 

Same.

 

I installed these about a month ago into my MBP & started having problems with apps crashing. Burned a MemTest86+ CD & ran it. Turns out one of the sticks was bad (many errors starting halfway through each test pass).

Did an RMA with Newegg & had some new memory in less than a week. It passed 5 passes of MemTest86+ running overnight. I'm pretty happy with it.

 

Still waiting on mines...

 

Installed this in November (Mid 2011 MBP 13") works great, no issues.

 

One of those reviewers is me.

 

I bought this RAM when it was $63 w/free shipping a month ago or so. Works perfectly!

 

just installed 2x2gb a few hours ago and its working great!

My post. Summary: RAM is causing multitude of issues, though I obviously could have just got a bad pair.

 

if you got these on the shell shocker for $55 or $62 than its a good deal. Right now their priced at $83... for that price id just go buy the crucial ram for $90 also from new egg.

 

Have used this memory in my 2011 mbp for nearly two months now with no problems to report.

 

Just installed my 8GB g.skill ram an hour ago. First had one loose and on startup it beeped. Made sure both were seated properly and everythings good. Ran a memory test via techtool pro 5, just for a minute and it looks good. Will do an extensive test later on.

 

Rocking it now.

 

The only reason I can't rock with G.SKILL Is because of the name, G.SKILL. Look at it. What does it stand for? In my mind, Gangster Skill. That's why I haven't bought it. I know it makes no sense but everytime I imagine a bunch of gangsters in some ghetto trap house but instead of cooking bad things they are cooking RAM. Then selling it on the streets for cheap. I know it sounds illogical but that's the reason I spend a few bucks more and go with Crucial.

...because look at the name! It's so much more immediate, professional, and... Necessary.

 

I have to agree with this, but I never thought about urban gangsters in bandanas.

Is RAM really just RAM? Kind of like an HDMI cable, where if it works, it works? Or are there varying degrees of quality?

 

There are some varying degrees of quality in brand name. Also there are varying speeds and timings. For RAM I do tend to go with a brand I know rather than some random ebay chinese company.

 

I am at a lack of words.

 

There are varying degrees just as their are varying degrees of HDMI (they can be seen on a good scope, but will we really realize the difference, depends on usage).
