    I'm planning on buying a new pair of ram for my aR1. Im looking at 8gb dual ram but there is many different choice. Which one do you guy recommend. i went on kingston website and there was a pair of 4gb at 1333mhz that is only 140$ :). Leave some comment to advise me, thank you!

    Oles chiefs,

    Pretty much go for which ever awesome deal you can find.

    All you need to look out for is 2 sticks of 4gb 1333Mhz so dimm ram.
    Yes their pricing has dropped significantly over the past few months.

    Cheers. :)

    Crucial for example was £386 for 8GB and is now £190 in the UK (will be even cheaper in USA), but as the chief says two 4 gig sticks @1333Mhz you can't go wrong.

    There is a pair of crucial on amazon and the pair of kingstin. The onoy difference is the pc3-8500 and pc3-10600 does it matter?

    10600 is the same as saying 1333mhz. You need to make sure that RAM is for notebooks though. So look out for "so dimm".

    Cheers. :)
