    I saw this deal for a ram upgrade on Newegg Newegg.com - CORSAIR 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 Memory for Apple Model CMSA8GX3M2A1333C9 where you can get 8 dollars off with a coupon code and 15 dollar mail in rebate so it brings down the price to 25 dollars for 8 gigs of ram. I wanted to upgrade my Envy 14 from 4 gigs to 8 does anyone know if this is compatible with it? It says that its ram for Macs but people say it is also compatible with other computers. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Yes, it will work with a PC (based on the specs). PCs aren't as temperamental with RAM as some versions/models of Macbooks are. Some can't handle the faster RAM or can't mix and match RAM. Some can only use 1066 RAM.

    But as I clicked your link, it appears it is sold out.
