yangbang Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	8/10/2009 6:43:27 PM Great Pros: Popped the 2 sticks of ram (1GB x 2) out on my early 2008 Macbook Pro, and installed these 2 x 2GB sticks, and it worked right out of the box Cons: None. Other Thoughts: You can really tell the difference after you upgrade. Programs start much much faster and multitasking is super easy. Upgrade today, it's cheap!!! Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Papaskunk Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	12/14/2008 10:58:31 PM Also for iMacs Pros: This is the type of memory also required for the Fall 2007 iMac, which I have. They take a max of 4GB in two SO-DIMMs. Popped it in and it worked like a charm. Cons: None 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
txcrew Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	11/24/2008 9:44:47 PM Worked like a charm on my MacBook Pro Pros: Cost effective, easy to install, increases productivity Cons: I didn't buy it sooner Other Thoughts: I bought this to have max out my MacBook Pro at 3gigs of ram. I can't believe the difference between having 1 to 3. I'm able to multi-task and use graphic intensive programs like After Effects like never before. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

m3 Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	9/5/2008 12:04:47 PM Upgraded MBP from 2GB to 3GB Pros: Reasonable cost, ease of installation, performance boost. Cons: No cons, this is a win-win proposition. Other Thoughts: We have an 18 month old Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz Macbook Pro that we upgraded from the stock configuration of 2GB RAM to the maximum amount recognized by the chipset, which is 3GB RAM. Startup is noticeably faster, especially when first logging in. Running multiple applications also feels more responsive with the extra 1GB RAM. The additional performance is well worth the price and time to upgrade the RAM. Just follow the instructions closely and you will succeed. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	7/14/2008 11:08:41 AM Started Good....Ended Bad. Pros: Now that it broke...none. Cons: It broke. Other Thoughts: I previously gave this ram a high rating, but after having it for a month, the stick took a dump on me. I was having glitches and programs were crashing and eventually i got 3 beeps and no screen. Put the original ram in booted fine, put this ram in, 3 beeps. So at some point the ram just gave up...going through RMA hopefully all goes well. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
4elements Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	7/2/2008 11:06:54 AM Pros: 2GB Cons: better if it was free. Other Thoughts: it's ram, it's works and it works in the new aluminum iMacs. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
sillycece Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	6/21/2008 8:40:56 AM Great value, couldn't find a better price Pros: I searched and searched and couldn't find a better value for the RAM upgrade I wanted for my new Macbook. I got these with my Macbook in January 2008, installed them right away, and I haven't had any major problems. These work perfectly with my Macbook, otherwise I wouldn't be typing this. I'm very pleased with the quality and the value of this product, and the great job Newegg did of offering it at a low price! My Macbook is now 6 months old and I use it ALL the time. I kind of abuse my computers too--I put them through a lot. No problems yet! I certainly wouldn't blame anything on the RAM. Cons: None so far! Not expecting any. Other Thoughts: It's not as easy to install RAM on a Macbook as it was with my iBook, but it can be done if you read the instructions carefully. Get a geek to help you if you're stuck!!! I did it myself and I've only watched it being done on my iBook before. I thought I was doing it wrong, but my computer clearly says it has the amount of RAM I was installing, so I guess I was doing it right! :D Did you find this review helpful?

N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	3/21/2008 2:16:17 AM Great addition to iMac Pros: Very cheap compared to Apple upgrades. Works perfectly. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: I bought an entry level iMac to assess the possibility of switching from Linux. The only limitation I encountered was a memory shortage when running multiple Linux/Windows VMWare virtual machines. This upgrade addressed that problem for a mere pittance.

Robby Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: less than 1 day This user purchased this item from Newegg	3/12/2008 4:27:41 PM Fast and cheap memory module Pros: This memory shipped in two days and was really fast and simple to install. I have an iMac Aluminum Mid 2007 model and the only thing I had to do was unscrew the one bottom screw and pull out the flap and plug it in. Then booted up the computer and it was recognized instantly as planned. Do not even think about buying you RAM from apple the same product is 200$ lol ridiculous. Cons: No cons about the product really fast and made a big difference Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Jewlz Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	3/8/2008 12:24:37 AM Meh... Pros: Well, easy installation, the usual Cons: It caused photoshop to crash a lot. Maybe cause I'm on a Core Duo MacBook and most people recommended 2x1GB sticks instead of one sGB stick with the other bay empty. Other Thoughts: Who knows? Did you find this review helpful?

CoCo Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	2/7/2008 12:50:13 PM Works Great! Pros: Installed 2GB mem modules in MACBook and it works fine. I the system recognized the memory as soon as I powered it on. Great Price. Installed it within a few minutes. Just remove the battery and 3 screws. Took 2 days to arrive with standard shipping. Just make sure you validate your shipping address. I should have bought the 4 GB pack and would have saved a few dollars on shipping. Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

KevinJ Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	2/5/2008 11:50:55 PM Great memory for Macbook! Pros: Great price if you want to upgrade your Macbook to 3GB like I did. Memory is very solid...no problems yet! Cons: None so far. Other Thoughts: Make sure you install it in Bank 0 if using on a Macbook. I installed on Bank 1 at first and Leopard did not recognize the DIMM. Once I switched it all was good...it immediately recognized 3GB...with a 1GB chip in Bank 1. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
luiggiIL Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	1/25/2008 4:25:31 PM No problems !!! Pros: Matched the Mac unit as advertised, the notebook had no problems using the new memory and so far it has been a pleasure to see 4 GB in the machine :) Cons: None so far 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

CoderX Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	1/20/2008 10:18:31 PM Great Pros: This Ram is the best, I bought the 1gb MacBook and replace one 512mb chip with this one and my battery life lasts 7 hours vs 5 hours. Cons: I didn't buy a second one Other Thoughts: I'm likely going to buy one more and max it out. The more ram you have the less your HD spins up and that saves on the battery. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
LineProphet Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: less than 1 day This user purchased this item from Newegg	1/18/2008 11:33:42 AM Definitely recommended. Pros: Came in like 1 day, even though I chose the 3 day shipping. I don't know how these guys do it. Installed in less than 5 minutes into my macbook pro core2 duo. Cons: None yet, but it's only been in this laptop for a day. Other Thoughts: I've read about others having issues using the 2g and 1g chips in macbook pros (the ones that have a max of 3g RAM), but I was sure to install this 2g chip in the bottom bank, with the 1g on top, and seat both chips properly 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
