I purchased the [Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3/DDR3L 1600 MHz (PC3-12800) CL11 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.35V/1.5V Memory for Mac CT2K8G3S160BM](http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B008LTBJFW) from Amazon, which cost me $146.64 after tax. I followed the [official guide](http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201165) as well as the [iFixit guide](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2012+RAM+Replacement/10374). To finish the job I needed a Phillips #00 screwdriver and a spudger, so I purchased the [spudger](https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Spudger/IF145-002) and the [54 bit driver kit](https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/54-Bit-Driver-Kit/IF145-022-1) from iFixit. The actual process was pretty simple. I had a little bit of hard time pulling out the bottom module and pushing in the top module, but overall it was smooth. The only stupid thing I did was that I forgot to push the battery connector back in before I closed the case; I only realized this when I was screwing in the eighth screw (that was a close one!), and had to unscrew everything again. |
