[QUOTE="SoulRed12, post: 1541549, member: 146412"] Honestly, it's just frustrating to go into the Apple store with a problem and have them be like "well I don't know, it could be your memory since it's not Apple brand, this computer wasn't designed to work with that memory" and then do the thing where they act like they totally understand why I got it myself but then subtly guilt me for not buying it from them. >_> Incidentally, I found [url=http://store.apple.com/us/memorymodel/ME_MBP_S12_15_2_3]this page[/url] which lets me buy 8GB of memory from Apple for $200, which is still way expensive. But you guys are saying the brand (i.e., the one Apple uses vs. any other) doesn't really matter as long as I have the right specs (e.g. pin count, MHz, etc.)? I.e. if I have problems it must just be the particular unit I got? Thankfully Corsair has a lifetime warranty so if I'm understanding right I guess I'll just use it. [/QUOTE]
