New memory chip

[hawki18]

When I upgraded my memory in my MBP just went to NewEgg and looked for the ram I need. Looked at reviews of the memory to see if others reported good results or failues. I bought some budget ram and worked like a champ for me and it was off brand name I can't even remember brand name working fine for 18 months.

Did any of those reviews mention the RAM being used in a Mac? Most of the time those people are claiming the experience on a Windows PC.

Also, take those user reviews with a grain of salt. You want to make sure you get information from reliable sources that have experience with the Mac. I love NewEgg, but you have to be wary of so-called user reviews as they can skew the truth at times.

Yes I looked in the review from the customer to see how the ram worked with there Mac's and used that as a guide. The value ram has been working great for the 2 years I have had my MBP. Just bought a new IMac and plan on doing the same with the ram for it. Might see if the ram I bought last time is still avalible since new IMac use laptop ram.

Umm. Macbook Pros dont have an accessible ram slot from the bottom. Are you thinking of Macbook nonpros.
