What 8GB RAM Did You Get For Your MBP?

[Whitelightning]

Just to get an idea what most of you guys bought. Please post if you got a different one, just so viewers can manually tally up the other brands.

What's GSKILL, I keep reading about it here, but I've never heard of them.
Also, what about OWC RAM?

 

[Mik3F]

I got Kingston for my old 2010 MBP. Haven't upgraded my new 2011 yet

Owc ram

I ordered OWC RAM and I am perfectly happy with it.

They give life time warranty and also trade in your RAM that came with the standard configuration.

Just installed Crucial today, memtest was perfect and osx sees 8GB.

Got mine from newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148345

Patriot 8gb for my 2010 MBP.

If you're gonna do a poll at least expand the options other than 2 name brands and "other", kinda defeats the object of trying to find out the most popular brand.

No one is getting corsair?

Maybe one of the 6 "other" are(!)

 

[SuperCachetes]

Yep, Corsair from Amazon, 6 months ago. No issues.

1. Is DDR3-1600 worth it?
2. Which brand should I choose: Samsung, Super Talent, or Kingston?
3. What program is best for stress testing RAM?

 

[adnoh]

I went with crucial -no regrets

 

[skiltrip]

I ordered Crucial from Newegg, but that poll is the stink. OWC, Corsair, Samsung, should have made the list of choices as well.

 

[smc333]

I always go with OWC for my Macs.

 

[dohspc]

Whatever the factory installed.

I recently bought 2x4GB Crucial RAM for my Mac Mini and works fine. The latest Macs are comming from Apple with Crusial RAM pre-installed, so there is no combatibility issue with this brand. Older Macs have Samsung RAM pre-installed from Apple.

I got the Kingston kit from Amazon for my 2011 MBP 13". Works great.

 

[Lunchb0x8]

Elixir 10600 for my i7 13".

Working a treat, loving this speedy machine, thinking an SSD in a few months when I can afford a 512GB

I have 8gb of Crucial on the way

I tried to order from NewEgg but for some reason I didn't see the RAM for my computer on the site, so I started a live chat. After a frustrating session in which they said they obviously didn't carry it if I hadn't found it in my search ("Could you possibly check? My laptop is a very popular model and I would like to buy from NewEgg" "No if you didn't see it we don't have it" "But you haven't even asked what type of laptop I have?" )...

...it's on the way from Amazon

Wintec

I bought the wintec 1333 I have the 2011 2.3 quad core 17.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820161366
I also popped it open and replaced the thermal compound to the GPU/CPU.
