4Gb 1333 Mhz DDR3 vs 8Gb 1067 Mhz DDR3

Question

4Gb 1333 Mhz DDR3 vs 8Gb 1067 Mhz DDR3

Hey,

just got a new computer with 4gb of ram at 1333mhz but on my old macbook pro I have 8Gb at 1067mhz.

to be honest I don't really understand much but for me 8 is better than 4 but then again the MHz are different so I would like to know which one I should choose.

my processor is the following ... 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7(its the latest version of the macbook pros 13" late 2011)

I hope this is enough information to answer my question but please don't answer to this if you are not sure

Thank you to all in advance

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

I would say that the 8GB of 1067MHz would be better.

The 1333Mhz might give you a bit better performance at gaming, but the 8Gb's would still be better.

OR you could get 8GB of 1333MHz, its only around $50.

Hope this helps,

you need to use the 1333 MHz that your mac requires. Putting in the slower, 1067 MHz could cause your mac to become unstable. If you want to upgrade to 8gb, you can do so for about $50. http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/1333DDR3S08S/
