Dual Channel - 2x4GB kit versus separate 4GB sticks.

[redddraggon]

I've just picked up a Macbook Pro with 4GB DDR3, and I want to upgrade it to 8GB. Is there any reason why I should buy a kit? Buying separate 4GB sticks seems to work out cheaper and there's more choice.

Dual kits are usually tested in tandem, but there's no reason why two individual sticks of the same specification won't work just as well, there's just no guarantee that they were specifically tested together.

Thanks, I think I might aswell get a matched pair, will save any potential hassle.
