RAM is becoming a bigger issue these days as people often put in faster RAM than what Apple spec’ed for the system thinking they would get more performance. The problem is the speed of the write and access (Strobe) of the data going in and out also needs to be considered besides the JDEC spec: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM. This is the Row Access Strobe (RAS) and Column Access Strobe (CAS). So make sure to use the correct SO-DIMM’s not too slow and not to fast!
