I used Transcend "TS256MSK64V3N" - 2 GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM 1333 MHz (1R/256Mx8/CL9)
This is faster then what the JBC373F38W requires but I like to be able to swap stuff around. I found a good deal on Amazon a few months ago, sigh no deal now. Logic Supply carries it. Note, it requires x8 not x16 RAM.
