I recently “upgraded” my Mac Pro to iMac. It came with 8GB memory. The cost of upgrading or doing BTO with Apple was way too expensive. My options were:
- Buy from MacSales
- Buy from Lowyat
Lowyat did not have much option apart from DDR3 1600 RAM. Pretty frustrating. So I decided to order from MacSales today. As today is Black Friday in the US, the shipping was so much cheaper.
As I was just about to place my order, I decided to go on Lowyat for last and final time, and I saw them selling the DDR3 1866 RAM. I quickly check on Kingston’s website and discovered that potentially the RAM would be compatible with my iMac.
This morning – I then quickly drove to Lowyat to checkout the RAM, and saw that the model that they have is the same exact ones that the one certified for Mac (by Kingston). I quickly bought and installed.
And now – my iMac is running on 32GB. It feels so much faster now 🙂
