Product Description

DDR2 is the next generation of DDR memory. DDR2 memory features faster speeds, greater bandwidth, lower power consumption and enhanced thermal performance. Although DDR2 modules are the same physical dimension as DDR modules, the plug-in connector configuration is different and as such DDR2 modules are not compatible with PCs requiring DDR modules, and vice-versa. PNY manufactures DDR2 memory upgrades rated at PC2-3200, PC2-4200, PC2-5300 and higher. They are compatible with desktop and notebook computers and processors including Intel`s Pentium, Celeron, Centrino, AMD`s Athlon and Sempron Socket AM2 processors, and others. PNY upgrade modules are compatible with systems from Apple, Compaq, DELL, Gateway, HP, IBM and over 5000 other systems. Boost the performance of your PC. PNY memory upgrades will prove to be an outstanding value now and in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lightening speed at a great price!, June 18, 2008

This review is from: PNY OPTIMA 4GB (2x2GB) Dual Channel Kit DDR2 667 MHz PC2-5300 Notebook / Laptop SODIMM Memory Modules MN4096KD2-667 (Electronics)

I bought a pair of these and doubled the 2GBs that my HP dv6500t came with. Two important things (both positive.) 1)Unlike the experience of some other users and reviewers, my Vista 32-bit system shows all 4 GBs (not the three the same OS shows with 4GBs loaded into my DELL desktop) and, more importantly, 2) The speed of the laptop is now lightening fast. It was no slouch with the 2GBs, but now - well, if you appreciate speed you'll find this very modestly priced upgrade well worth your while. No problems whatever.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work correctly with 2008 Macbook Pro, September 3, 2009

By	K. Hagood (Harvest, al) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: PNY OPTIMA 4GB (2x2GB) Dual Channel Kit DDR2 667 MHz PC2-5300 Notebook / Laptop SODIMM Memory Modules MN4096KD2-667 (Electronics)

If you buy this for a 17 inch MBP, you will only be able to use 1 module. Apparently there is some kind of compatibility problem. I haven't figured out how to fix it yet. I guess I'm stuck with it.


Problem: The guide that came with my MBP says it can take up to 4GB of ram, so I ordered the 4 GB kit(part no MN4096KD2-667) I cannot get it to boot with both Modules in, but it will run if I just use one mixed with one of the original modules.

I emailed PNY and their response was:

I have heard of this problem before, but PNY doesn't have a solution. You will have to contact Apple to see if something has to be done on the motherboard to get it to recognize both chips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap fix for memory upgrade, May 29, 2009

By	K. Warchol - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: PNY OPTIMA 2GB DDR2 667 MHz PC2-5300 Notebook / Laptop SODIMM Memory Module MN2048SD2-667 (Electronics)

I noticed my macbook was running really slow lately, so I decided to upgrade my ram from the factory cards. I knew nothing about replacing my ram, but it was actually really simple. I paid a fraction of what the apple store probably would have charged to do it for me. Now my mac is as fast as when i bought it. Great buy!
