I have an iMac and MacBook Pro, both which can work with the same memory. After solving my MBP's crashing problem (bad RAM) I had to share the 4GB (2x2GB) from my iMac with my MacBook Pro, but 2GB in Mavericks/Yosemite is so very painfully slow. I plan to buy an 8 GB kit (2x4GB) and share that between the iMac and MBP so that both have 6GB (vs one having 8 and other having 4) but i have some questions. Does both RAM modules have to be the same clock speed? Would it be better to Buy an 8GB kit so both computers have 6GB, or would it be better to just by a 4GB kit so both computers have 4GB? 4GB would be cheaper but maybe slower than 6GB on Mavericks/Yosemite. Also where can I find the best deal on RAM? RAM is quite expensive (almost as much as an SSD )
