guys, need your help here..


I'm running on only 2x 2gb DDR3 1066 of ram on my i7 27inch, late 2009 2.8 GHZ

what is the cost efficient way to upgrade ram? since 1333 and 1066 cost about the same now.. I was thinking to buy 4x4gb 1333.. and throw the 2gb out..

I am so confused after the researches.. can someone give me a direct answer? hah

thanks in advance.

Should work. It'll just downclock to 1066.
