hey guys, I want to upgrade to 8gb of ram, my two choices are:
Newegg.com - ADATA Supreme Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Laptop Memory Model AD3S1333C4G9-2
or
Newegg.com - Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Dual Channel Kit Laptop Memory Model 996644
as these are available locally.
anyone have experience with these brands in MacBook Pro's?
Also the A-DATA is 1333mhz 9-9-24 timings, I'm assuming since I have a 2010 MBP that it will run at 1066mhz 7-7-20?
The Mushkin reviews are 50/50 for MBP owners, some say it works fine, other's say no boot, or kernel panics. A-DATA has no reviews by mac owners.

Karamazovmm Overthinking? Always!
whichever is cheaper, it doesnt matter, it will downclock inevitably

the a-data is cheaper, just wanted to make sure it was compatible.

ended up finding this model of G.Skill:
Newegg.ca - G.SKILL 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Laptop Memory Model F3-10666CL9S-4GBSQ
I bought two sticks for 8 Gb total, it's running at 1067mhz which is normal since I have a 2010 MBP.
Mushkin or A-DATA RAM
