Rating + 5 Great Value


Pros: Easy installation. Great price. Seamless integration.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: I installed this in my late 2007 15" Macbook and it runs like a champ. I am running a full Logic recording suite for my studio and it works flawlessly. A great upgrade from the 1 gig I bought the comp with. I highly recommend. Buy with confidence.

Rating + 5 Good Upgrade for the Money


Pros: Easy Installation on my macbook
Both RAM modules recognized immediately by OSX
Noticeable performance boost

Cons: None that I can think of

Other Thoughts: For less than $50 dollars, this upgrade is well worth the money. I run Ubuntu and Win7 in virtualbox, and they both run much better with the extra ram.


The (1 out of 5) reviewer a few people below me:
You are supposed to be reviewing the RAM, if you did not use it you are not really qualified to review it. It is your fault you bought the wrong RAM, NOT Kingston's or Neweggs.

Rating + 5 Great deal!


Pros: -Overall performance boost.
-Faster startup of OS and programs, generally all around more smooth.
-Does well with my dual boot system(Mac OS X and Windows 7 Beta)
-Plays Fallout 3 in Windows 7 perfect.

Cons: -None that I've seen yet.

Other Thoughts: Currently, I'm dual booting my Mac with OS X and Windows 7 Beta. I installed Windows 7 beta about 2 weeks prior to buying my memory so that I could play Fallout 3. At the time I was only using 1 GB of memory and I was still playing on medium quality settings.
After buying the extra memory, I'm now playing Fallout 3 on med/high to high quality settings with next to no lag in frame rate at all. Both Windows 7 and Mac OS X are running much faster and smoother and my startup rate is much faster as well as switching between the two operating systems. Programs load much smoother in both operating systems.

I haven't gotten around at this time to trying Photoshop/Painter/Gimp yet, but if the bump in performance with Fallout 3 is any indication, I'm going to go out on a limb and say this purchase was worth $60 to put my system up to 4 GB from 1 GB.

Rating + 5 Good Cheap RAM


Pros: Cheap, works. Going from 1gb of ram to 2gbs makes a big difference.

Cons: none.

Other Thoughts: make sure the ram is all the way in, it can be deceiving

Rating + 5 Happy happy


Pros: How do they make this stuff for so cheap? Seriously - I got two sticks for my black macbook to ramp it up to 4g. The install was a breeze and when I turned it on, it immediately recognized the memory. The extra memory helps big time too - I have parallels running windows xp and windows server 2008 - and the mac churns it out no problem. Definitely worth the investment!!!

Cons: I dont get to see the pinwheel as often?

Other Thoughts: Get this memory.

Rating + 5 Does what its suppose to do


Pros: *Low Cost
*Easy to install
*Lifetime Warranty
*Fits right into my white macbook (late 08 model)

Cons: Non what so ever

Other Thoughts: I installed this on my White MacBook in less than 10 mins. I am not that tech savvy when it comes to taking "stuff" out of a computer and putting new "stuff" back in. I just did a quick google search on how to install and did it myself. I bought two of the 2gb sticks to put in each slot of my MB and it reads all 4gb. My lapper runs great, my only issue is I didn't do this sooner.

Rating + 5 Quick and Easy


Pros: Very easy to install, booted up no problem both Leopard and Boot Camp Windows XP. Noticed a difference when using After Effects.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Make sure this is the right memory for your computer. Apple tells you the exact kind of memory you can have. Also, some applications are only recognizing 3 GB of the RAM. I'm not complaining since there is a definite increase in performance and Leopard finds all 4. Overall, very pleased with product.

Rating + 5 Great Product, Phenomenal Price...


Pros: I mean, the same stick of memory is available at a local big box retail store for about 4 times the price. Go look for yourself, and see that good ole' Newegg has it for much less. Worked perfectly, installed in seconds and was recognized by my system immediately. I just bought my second stick to double up. I will be running 4 GB using two of these. Just pick it up, don't wait.

Cons: No cons, perfect product.

Rating + 5


Pros: Wanted to upgrade my MacBook Pro from 1Gb to 3Gb. After a failed attempt with another product I got this one, popped it into the remaining open memory bay, closed it up, turned on the computer and it recognized it immediately. Noticeable difference when running Final Cut or multiple programs at the same time!

Cons: Not a one.

Other Thoughts: Newegg was helpful in refunding my previous purchase of a bad stick of RAM (another product, not this one) so when I exchanged it, I chose this one instead, no problems at all!

Rating + 1 Not compatible with G4 PowerBook 17"


Pros: Newegg shipped this product promptly, and were very good about taking it back due to incompatibility with my 17" PowerBook G4 running at 1.67 CPU speed.

Cons: Is incompatible with G4 PoweBook.

This, like most of Newegg's offerings, is a DDR2, that will not fit my PowerBook G4 running at 1.67 GHz.

The PowerBooks require a DDR -- NOT A DDR2. (This is a bit confusing, because I first thought that "DDR2" referred to a package of two DDR sticks, but apparently it refers to a totally different type of memory configuration.) The slot in the substrate is off by just a half millimeter, so these sticks will not fit. A call to Kingston indicated that they have only one stick for my particular PowerBook, which is their product number: KTA-PBG4333/1G. This is sold by NewEgg as: "Kingston 1GB DDR 333 (PC 2700) Memory for Apple Notebook - Retail" CPUs with slower speeds may require another product.

To upgrade my PowerBook's memory to its maximum capacity of 2 GB, I purchased two of the "Kingston 1GB DDR 333 (PC 2700) Memory for Apple Notebook - Retail" -- one for each slot. Hopefully, this will solve the problem

Other Thoughts: Other Thoughts: Before you order, open your System Profiler in the Apple menu, and see what your CPU speed is and what type of memory is already in there. Then, phone Kingston's customer at 1-800-435-0640, give them the details, and order accordingly.

Also, avoid Bill Gates bloated code. Running iWork, my computer ran perfectly fine on 512 MB of RAM. Then I installed Office 2008. Unlike earlier versions, it runs stuff in the background that you can't turn off and slows everything else down to a snail's pace, even when an Office application is not running.
