Customer Review: Excellent for late 2009 MacBook MC207LL/A
Summary: 5 Stars
Crucial is well known as a premium supplier of memory. This unit works perfectly in the late 2009 Polycarbonate MacBook MC207LL/A. Installation is easy, but you do need a #00 Philips screwdriver to remove the back of the computer. Complete instructions are given in section 3 of the Owner's Manual.
The memory cards were difficult to remove from the Crucial packaging. They had to be pried out with a plastic alignment tool (similar to a flat blade screwdriver). The cards looked different than the illustration. The illustration shows four large chips on the surface, but my cards had eight smaller chips on the surface.
Total time to install was about ten minutes. The computer instantly recognized the memory and showed the status of each card as OK.
Customer Review: Works flawlessly
Summary: 5 Stars
My computer is twice as fast! I used this memory for my Late 2008 Unibody Macbook and I absolutely love it.
I do web design and development with photoshop, flash, and various other programs as well as running windows on a virtual machine.
My computer's 2gb memory was not able to handle all the tasks I was doing before without slowing down significantly.
After upgrading to this memory, it works much much faster. I rarely get the spinning rainbow circle.
I am very happy with my purchase. For the increase in productivity this memory gave me - it's totally worth the price.
From my understanding of the industry, Crucial is a very reliable source and I have not had any problems in the past five months of owning this memory.
Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Just installed 2x2GB kit to my Mac Mini, perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
My Mac Mini is an early 2009 Model which came with 1GB DDR 3 memory. I made a small research on the internet and of course on the Amazon site. The remarks on the crucial memory modules were great. I also checked the site since honestly this was the first time I heard the brand name. Anyway, I purchased the 2x2GB kit.
Only today I could find some spare time to install the memory kit. With the aid of a youtube video I installed the kit. Worked perfectly well and Mac Mini booted without any kind of problem. I checked from the system profiler and confirmed that the device reported the memory kit as normal.
I did not do an official benchmark but the mouse gestures are more smooth now. I would recommend the brand and the product.
Customer Review: Clean and easy install
Summary: 5 Stars
The RAM came in today. Opening up my macbook pro (13", 2.26 Ghz, Core 2 Duo) was easy. Just flip the machine over and remove the single 'backplate' off the unibody.
Did have some trouble getting the new RAM popped into place; but I'll consider it to be my own lack of skill.
The system did not recognize 2 GB of the RAM on the first boot and that had me concerned. Looked at the RAM again and it seems I didn't seat the second chip correctly. As I said earlier .... lack of skill....
All went well after the second attempt. System shows 4 GB of RAM. The boot seems slightly faster. Im typing this review off my Mac now.
Go ahead and buy it. Crucial makes good stuff. The spend is worth it.
Customer Review: Superb upgrade for late-2008 aluminum MacBook
Summary: 5 Stars
I own a 2.4 GHz aluminum unibody late-2008 MacBook. It came stock with 2 gigs of RAM, which, while great for light use, wasn't cutting it for Starcraft and heavy GarageBand work. 4 gigs makes all the difference. It zips along through whatever I throw at it, and program startup times are significantly improved. Install was a breeze, but whatever you do, make SURE that you use a Phillips 00 screwdriver for MacBooks. Those screws are easy to strip. Both sticks were recognized right away and I'm a happy camper! Packaging was very convenient, with each stick in its own resealable plastic enclosure. These are great to store your old RAM in. Shipping was prompt, price was good. I definitely recommend.
Cheers
