[l3ebs]

Hey Guys

I like to buy locally and this is my cheapest option.

Just wondering if you think it is okay and reliable?

Thanks

Frankly, never heard of the brand and the price is not cheap..
Y don't you find some G-Skill, OWC or Crucial?

That price is in New Zealand Dollars so approx. $112 USD.

Here are my other choices:

Maybe I misread, but isn't that price is for 1 4gb ram? You have to buy 2 in order to upgrade from your original 2x2gb ram. That's like 200 usd? It seems hella expensive comparing to USA.

Here is an example of what most people go for in USA:

a set of 2x4gb ram for around 90 usd.

8.0GB (2x4.0GB Kit) PC3-10600 DDR3 1333MHz SO-DIMM 204 Pin CL9 SO-DIMM Memory Upgrade Kit from OWC. They ship to internationally. I usually buy from them and shipping is fairly quick to Australia.

Thanks.

Keen on the OWC.

I can get Corsair for a similar price on Amazon. What is best?

Both RAM kits are good and I doubt you will have a problem with either set. It all comes down to personal choice I think.
