[QUOTE="Jingol, post: 1537571, member: 299919"] Hello everyone I have decided upgrade my [U]Mid 2012 MacBook Pro (MD101)[/U] RAM Default is 2*2GB = 4GB RAM I would like just install one 8GB Crucial RAM 1600MHz module in one slot [B]8GB Crucial RAM + 2GB default Apple RAM = 10 GB[/B] I know matched pair of module is better but by this plan if I need In future can buy another 8GB and upgrade to 16GB my question is : May this configuration with different module will damage my MBP or impact performance? Whether this (8GB+2GB=[B]10GB[/B] RAM) [B]with different brand[/B] will better than (2*4GB=[B]8GB[/B] RAM) with [B]same brand and matched pair[/B] of modules? Thanks in advance for your answers [/QUOTE]
