[QUOTE="glennt, post: 1402662, member: 251773"] Hey everybody. It's nice to be a part of these forums after lurking for quit some time. Anyway, I am looking to upgrade my late 2011 15" MBP to either 8GB or 16GB of RAM, but am not sure whether to go with the Komputerbay "budget" RAM or a Corsair or OWC "name brand" RAM kit. Not sure what the difference really is because it seems that they're both the same speed and would therefore act the same, since RAM, form what I've heard, it really either hit-or-miss. So it's between:[URL="http://trdd.us/s5"]Komputerbay "budget" RAM[/URL] or [URL="http://trdd.us/s6"]Corsair "name brand" RAM[/URL] and maybe even [URL="http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/1333DDR3S16P/"]OWC "High end" RAM[/URL] I've heard great things about OWC but am a little hesitant to buy because of the high price relative to these others. Almost $100 more. Does it really make any difference? Have any of you had any bad experiences with cheaper RAM (or even good experiences with higher-end RAM)? Or is it all the same? Thanks so much for your time, best wishes to all, and for those of you upgrading to the new MBP when it comes out, enjoy your machine! It should be great! [/QUOTE]
