Apacer Ram on macbook aluminum

My computer was behaving weird after I upgraded the computer with Samsung RAM. I want to change them and I have a good proposition to exchange the Samsung RAM sticks with Apacer headspreader RAM sticks. So I wanted to know if some people are using them and how they behave on the macbook aluminum before I go to do the exchange in the vendor shop.

MacBook aluminium late 2008; Powerbook 12'', Mac OS X (10.6.5), none

What was your Mac doing with the added RAM?
Keep in mind Samsung has a lifetime guarantee, I believe.

Personally, I like to go with high quality, Mac friendly RAM. No bargain stuff. The original Samsung RAM failed in my MacPro after 2 years so I'm not a fan of that brand. And Apacer is not what I would call Mac friendly at all.

I feel Crucial RAM is the way to go. I have it in all three of My Macs, one of which has been running Crucial for 8 years now with no issues. It's a little higher priced, then some brands, but worth it and has a lifetime guarantee.

Crucial has a system tester that figures out exactly what RAM you need.

The symptoms my macbook has that keeps me thinking of bad ram are:
- sometimes 3 beeps when I start the computer
- Applications keep crashing randomly
- spotlight keep indexing indefinitely
About CRUCIAL RAMS I would like to buy but I am in China, so no way for me to buy those ram. That is why I am comparing those I can get on the market here
Thanks for your reply

I'm lost with China stuff. You know the Samsung probably has a lifetime warranty, right? No need to buy something. Send it in. They will replace it. Call first.
