The Wrong Memory – MacBook Pro Early 2011

Last week I found out that the memory I have been using in my macbook pro unibody laptop was the wrong format. I did the stupid thing of trusting a Fry’s electronic nerd to pick out my memory. I figured hey he’s got the internet and is searching in the googles… he should be able to find it.

NOPE

He ended up giving me non mac compatible memory.

Lets hope all those random resets go away!

Correct Memory to use: 8GB DDR3 SODIMM Memory Kit (CMSA8GX3M1A1333C9)
