Which 8gig ram upgrade should I get?

Whichever is the correct pinout and speed, with a reputable brand that has a good warranty. Ram is ram is ram.

A lot of people say that. But from what I understand their is ram that's made cheap and ram that's quality. So ram is not ram.
 
I have the OWC one, but I think they're all the same.

Whichever one is cheapest I would get.

Which, if you read me correctly, I mentioned, and I quote: with a reputable brand that has a good warranty.
 
NuRam as well as OWC branded ram both give you lifetime warranty.
Just get the cheapest NuRam, and ship them your ram that you'll be replacing, OWC will send you a rebate up to $50.
Not sure if you're aware that after the rebate your 8GB NuRam will be about $119.
 
OWC has been a good source for me in the past. I would also say I have received quite a few recommendations for the WD Scorpio Black drive. I am about to get either the 320GB or the 500GB. 5400 RPM doesn't keep my with my music recordings.

Again, replacing the RAM and HDD with aftermarket ones DOES NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

Just a reminder. :rolleyes:

But it doesnt prevent Apple from returning the box from a service call with a sticky slapped on the top that says:

we tried to fix ur machine but the rams aren't ours, and it ain't good. Kthxbai!

That is VERY likely factually incorrect as Apple wouldn't use ghetto English in a response to a customer.

So jealous of U.S. people...I JUST bought the g. skill ram on newegg.ca for $175+$9.99 shipping + $25 tax...the exchange rate is about the same..lol
 
Ugh, crucial will ONLY ship to the address on your credit card. What a pain in the ass.
 
this ram should work too and its a bit faster for the same price as the nuram for the next 20 min lol

You got me excited....lol you should clarify this rebate is only if you send back your current 4 gig setup. Folks like me who have a 2 gig set up get next to nothing lol
