5.0 out of 5 stars It works just fine in a Macbook Pro, January 6, 2011

I have a brand new Macbook Pro 13" with the 2.4ghz processor. I am running the Kingston 8GB kit with a G. Skill 120GB SSD, the computer screams and could only imagine if I opted for the 15" with the i7 but the way I have it now my 13" is too fast for what I need anyways. The ram got a 4 for ease of use because I had to reset my PRAM upon installation. The computer was slow at first, booted into the diagnostic tools, memory passed all diagnostic checks so just went wil simple troubleshooting steps by resetting the PRAM/NVRAM and the SMC for good measure. Computer booted up in less than 8 seconds and runs Logic Studio, Apurture Pro (while rendering) and designing scripts all at the same time with little to no lag.

If you have a bad set of RAM don't rate it a 0 unless you run a memory diagnostic, reset PRAM, and have confirmation that it is the ram. People switch back to their original apple ram and it runs fine because yeah, snow leopard pre-caches information. If you reset that pre-cache I beet most of these guys wouldn't need a new set of ram.

RESET PRAM (hold option + command + R + P and press the power button, let it go to the white screen and restart and et go of all the keys). Also go to apple.com/support not some cheesy Mac forum I troll those forums and people are idiots on most of them.

Slapped this into my new 21.5" iMac base model. Installation was a breeze and the imac recognized it upon boot up, no issues at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great, much cheaper than buying from Apple, January 19, 2011

I bought this memory to install in a white MacBook, the late-2010 kind.
It was quick and easy to install using instructions from Apple's support
site. Worked great the first time. Upgrading my memory this way cost
me less than half as much as buying memory from Apple, even if I ordered
from Apple and installed it myself.

One caution about opening up a white MacBook: keep track of EXACTLY
which screw came from EXACTLY which hole. The screws are different
lengths, and it's way easier to just put the same screw back in the same
place than to sort out exactly what length needs to go where.
