Do NOT buy if your Mac came with 533 or 667 MHz DDR2 memory.,

This review is from: Kingston Apple 4GB Kit (2x2GB Modules) 800MHz DDR2 SODIMM iMac and Macbook Memory (KTA-MB800K2/4GR) (Personal Computers)
The back of the KTA-MB800K2/4GR package states that this memory is "Intended for use with Apple systems requiring 800MHz, 667MHz, or 533 MHz DDR2 memory modules. THIS IS INCORRECT!!!
I have an iMac with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. It has the original memory, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. I wanted to upgrade to 4 GB and purchased the slightly faster Kingston KTA-MB800K2/4GR memory. It DID NOT WORK!!! Kingston Technical Support said that the Mac has problems with faster memory and recommended that I purchase 667 MHz DDR2 memory (Kingston KTA-MB667K2/4G) for my iMac. To find out what processor and memory is in your iMac, click the Apple icon in the top left corner, then click About This Mac. Upgrade the memory in your iMac with memory that is both the same speed (667 MHz) and type (DDR2). Buy this memory, ONLY if your Mac came with 800 MHz DDR2 memory modules!!! Do NOT buy if your Mac came with 533 or 667 MHz DDR2 memory. Good Luck!!!

This review is from: Kingston Apple 4GB Kit (2x2GB Modules) 800MHz DDR2 SODIMM iMac and Macbook Memory (KTA-MB800K2/4GR) (Personal Computers)
Just got the memory today in mail, and was able to upgrade the iMac ('08 Intel Core 2 Duo) during my lunch, total time- 10 mins (well 20 really, had to find the instructions on Apple's website)... switched the chips, turned on pc and that was it.
The memory was 50% less for the EXACT same product, so you can do the math (not exactly option-pricing theory is it?). I got the same speed (800 MHz) as I had before in the 2GB, so it's not any faster, but now I can run my Garageband along with my Superior Drummer (full install/24bit samples) with an extra GB to spare. I've only had it for a day now, so hopefully it won't crap out on me (especially after all the good things I said)....

ordered this for my Imac 8,2 2.4 intel. it came with 2 GB. such a huge improvement in speed, feels like a new computer. an instant improvement especially with OSX Lion. as soon as I installed Lion i had thought i had made a huge mistake. i felt like this Imac just wasn't going to be able to handle the OS and thought about uninstalling it. until i realized i could upgrade the memory. So happy with this upgrade would definitely use it again.
I have used Kingston for years and this was my First use of it in a Mac. Works perfectly 2115|REO8WS35DHNBW;2115|RDHK4PORZKN3T;2115|R3P9D3F8G9NYPT;
