Want to buy the right RAM for my 15" MBP

[DimHaute]

I bought a 15" MBP a couple days ago (05/31). I have never really used a Mac until now, because I'm tired of the crappy quality PCs and immenent slow downs. I can say that im thrilled with my decision and will never go back. This has been a big aid to my music career.

Anyways I'm not too tech savvy, but I want to make sure I buy the right RAM. I believe it's the mid-2012 model 2.6GHz 15" MBP with 4GB of 1600GHz DDR3 RAM

I thought to myself since most of my DaW programs require 4GB of RAM and I do a lot of multitasking. I should go with 16gb of RAM (two 8gb).

I read on MacRumors guide that CL9 Ram is best but I'm not sure. I heard good things about Crucial and Kingston, but which one would be best? Price is not an issue. My friends say to find Samsung memory but I've never seen such :S
Aswell can apple install it for me?

I appreciate the help guys. Thank you in advance for the recommendations.

Crucial is very popular. I would consider them or GSkill.

But my friend keeps saying apple won't install it for me and I don't want to void my warranty.

Any insight?

RAM is user upgradeable on that model and will not void your warranty.

Thank you. I've been trying to figure that out, but when I called apple support, the guy just said he didn't know... Your help is much appreciated.

Now it's just a matter of finding what RAM is best. I'm sure it's easy to install.
