Hey, I have the 2012 13" macbook pro (non retina). it has the standard 4gb of ram installed. A few hours ago I purchased this ram: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005LAYH3K/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

However from what I have seen the 1333mhz speed will not be good in my machine as I am meant to use 1600mhz modules. Apples websites and other websites on the internet say that I would experience crashing and slower performance. I currently cannot cancel my order but can return for a refund when they arrive. Should I keep them and try them or just return them and by some more expensive 1600mhz modules. Thanks in advance.
