This review is from: Kingston Apple 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SODIMM Laptop Memory (KTA-MB667/2GR) (Personal Computers)

My Macintosh programs were getting slow. Especially iPhoto and iMovie. Enter this product. I got a quote from the local Apple store to upgrade the memory in my iMac and it was really expensive (but they would install it for free). I patiently waited. I had to make sure that my two year old iMac was compatible. Once I had the product identified, it was a snap to order from Amazon....free shipping!
The installation was easy and all it needed was a simple reboot. Now my memory-intensive programs run like a champ! I'm not very good with computer stuff, but to all of those DIY'ers out there, this is something that anybody can accomplish with having to pay excessive Apple prices. Thanks.

This memory works perfectly with the Intel MacBook Pro series! I installed it and the Mac ran fine. I'd reccommend this memory to anyone with an Intel MacBook or MacBook Pro.

This review is from: Kingston Apple 1GB 667MHz DDR2 SoDimm iMac and Macbook Memory (KTA-MB667/1GR) (Personal Computers)

I work with RAW files in iPhoto and Aperture and found it was bogging my computer down. Moving from one file to the next was slow if I made any changes at all. I talked to Apple and they suggested boosting the ram. The Apple customer service person told me that Kingston was a good brand and that installing ram was the only thing she would suggest a consumer to do to their iMac. She said my 20" (late 2006 white body desktop dual core) iMac will hold 4GB (2 in each of the two slots, but will only use 3GB. So I should order a 2GB and a 1GB. Why pay for 4 when it won't use it? She also said it was ok to mix size as long as they matched each other otherwise. It took me while to find the right memory for my computer. I learned that my desktop actually takes memory that usually says "laptop" in the description. As long as it is 667MHz, DDR2, SoDimm unbuffered and for Apple computers it would work in my model. I learned from a reviewer on Amazon that Kingston makes two qualities and to get the KTA. I took all this advice and ordered from Amazon because I trust them and knew if there was a problem, it would be taken care of. Plus the price was good and FREE shipping is always nice. Some sites charge $6 or $7 for a tiny package. I got them both quickly, but a day apart for some reason. They are considerable smaller than PC versions.
They were easy to install. I've installed memory in PC's (never a Mac) before but I still I got instructions from the Apple website. I just unplugged everything, laid it down, and took off the middle grate on the bottom. Be sure to softly pad the surface you lay your computer face down on. I pulled the white clips and they popped loose. Apple says you will "hear a click" when they seat, but you must have to be a dog to hear it. I did FEEL a little soft snap though. Just FYI, large bold print said "don't use the security clips to seat memory". I fired it up and it worked perfectly. I can tell a difference from the 1GB total to the 3 I now have. Especially when working in Aperture with raw files.
