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.

    does this mean it runs at 1333? or it just says that??
