Question 1

Is this product compatible with MacBooks? Not MacBook Pro, but the normal MacBook?

Accepted Answer

I popped the ram into a normal Macbook and it has been working well.  Upgrading to 4GB was the most my old Macbook could handle, but I still saw an impressive gain in speed.

Question 2

I have a 2008 20 inch screen 1.8V I-Mac and need a RAM ungrade. Which Newegg product do you recommend ?

Accepted Answer

So for whatever reason, newegg doesnt want me to put sources/links or whatever  but I'm going to telly out them anyway.

I also upgraded an iMac from 2008 (it might have been 2009) and I got info from "everymac .com"

Assuming you bought yours late in 2008, you want PC3-8500 DDR3 type RAM with a minimum speed of 1066 MHz, but you can also support 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMMs (204-pin). You can upgrade up to 8 gb.

in other words, this iRam you found right here will work perfectly.

Maybe I misunderstood your question and you are asking about HOW MUCH ram you want, in which case I suggest 4 gb. 2 gb is too small of an upgrade to justify, while 6 or 8 gbs is quite a lot to spend on an old computer. For most applications, with a 2008 computer, your processor or graphics card will become the limiting factor on your performance once you pass 4gb of RAM, which means spending more money on 6 or 8 gb of ram is a waste.

Hope that helps,
Jonah

Question 3

looking to upgrade ram in a mac mini core duo 1.83 ghz 667 mh.
Will this ram work?

Accepted Answer

Seems to be working fine for my 2008 Macbook.  I don't know the specs for the mac mini, but if they are the same, I don't see why not.

I see that the clock speed appears to be lower, though.  If that's the memory clock speed, I think that this may not be appropriate ram for your machine - depends on whether under clocking will work or not.

You need to match speed and pin count.  I'm not sure what the max size depends on, but that may also be a spec you need to follow.

Newegg has a memory finder, and that is what I used to find this ram for my macbook.  You can get the model number from the about this mac dialog, support tab, specifications link.
