Just replaced my 4GB with 16GB of PNY from Best Buy. AWESOME difference in performance!!
Could you please specify the memory chip that you bought? I need more details in order to get the right one, thanks!
Any memory kit that is either validated by Apple or that has the proper channel configuration (9-9-9-24) is okay to use. If you are looking for pure performance RAM, a kit of Corsair Vengeance RAM is okay to use (again, check the channel configuration), but most people will benefit from a kit of Corsair Mac Memory or the kit that iFixit provides in the volume of your choice.
