Hello all,
so i have the latest macbook pro and searching around to upgrade the 2gb ram to 4gb ram.
i ran into this g. skill ram that specifically says its for the Apple macbooks.
this ram sells for $85 at newegg

then i ran into what looked to be the exact same ram by g. skill, but does not mention any compatibility with apple. this one sells for 69.99 at newegg
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...A-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_-N82E16820231135
as far as i can tell, they have the exact same specs, is this just a marketing ploy? and, is there any way to really test ram speed performance? are there any available benchmark tests?
curious to see if anyone else knows the difference in any of these little nuances.
thanks!
