5.0 out of 5 stars Great RAM But For Older Macs, December 30, 2008

By	Tim Challies (Oakville, Ontario) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is high-quality RAM and it may well make a significant difference to your machine. If you find that you're running many programs at once or using some more demanding programs like Photoshop this RAM will give you a bit of an edge. Read some of the reviews here and you'll see that.

But do note, this RAM is for the mid-2007 iMacs and MacBooks. The latest generation, the ones released in 2008 with Intel Core 2 Duo processors can still use it, but will do better with a slightly faster RAM. This is PC5300 RAM and is 667MHz. What you actually want for the latest generation of Macs is MC6400 RAM running at 800MHz. It's not going to be a night and day difference, but it's about the same price and you may as well get the right stuff.

To find the stuff you should get, search for this here at Amazon: KTA-MB800K2/4G. That is the Kingston part number and will turn up the one you want.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly in my MacBook Pro, May 25, 2008

By	Phillip Roncoroni "goodcowfilms.com" (Manhattan, New York) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Bought this RAM for my Core2Duo MacBook Pro and it works perfectly. Easy to install, you just need a tiny jeweler's style screwdriver and much, much cheaper than Apple's ridiculous price.

I don't understand why Steve Jobs needs to sell machines with two RAM slots using 2x1GB chips, especially when he wants Apple to be seen as "environmentally friendly." Nobody savvy is going to pay Apple's RAM upgrade extortion prices, so why not offer a 1x2GB option for extra, leaving one RAM slot free, so the customer can buy a single, additional 1x2GB chip elsewhere? Apple gets extra money from the 1x2GB fee, the single additional chip is cheaper for the end user and it saves two 1x1GB chips from going in the garbage.
