[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1502163, member: 110816"] Does the Kingston memory match the timing/speed setting of the Apple memory you removed? Even if the Kingston RAM was way faster or more power hungry than the Apple memory, I'm not sure the logic board would provide the necessary power retarding the timing of the Kingston RAM.. I'd be hard pressed to explain the increase battery consumption with the memory replacement. Can you do a test by charging the battery to full, then allow it to discharge for an hour or so with the Kingston RAM, note the battery left. Then switch back to Apple memory, charge back to full and discharge for the same amount with the same applications and so on and compare the percentages.. [/QUOTE]
