Which RAM to Buy?

[Ballr24]

Which one of these three will work with the MacBook Pro (13 inch, 2011)? And is there a significant difference in performance between these three? And what would the downsides of purchasing one of these be? Thanks in advance!

you didn't post any thing to pick from, but just get the cheapest 1333mhz RAM newegg has...

Oops, forgot.

Will any of these work? I want 8GB, and I'd like to stick with Corsair. Price isn't really an issue, so if 1600mhz means better performance, id go with that.

none of those will work, they're all desktop memory. and 1600mhz won't work.


if you want corsair, get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145281

Oh, fail. I thought 1600mhz would work though, at least some websites say so

i went to newegg as soon as you mentioned it, that's the one i was looking at. i think thats gonna be the one then, pretty good price too (compared to where i live in canada)

1600mhz will only work with the 2.2+ quad i7's


i went with the corsair 1066 version for my mid-2010 (as it was the cheapest when I ordered), and it's working great.
