Customer Review: Great Upgrade for MacBook Pro
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased a MacBook Pro with 2GB of RAM which wasn't enough for the applications I run such as a few tabs on Firefox, Safari, iTunes and a couple smaller background apps and my Ram usage was almost always above 75% which was starting to slow it down. With 4GB I can run everything I used to and them some. In fact I can run the Sims 3 (medium-settings) and a few applications in the back ground without wanting to pull out my hair. Having 4GB instead of 2GB really saves me from constantly checking how much I have left, and the installation took less than five minutes and everything booted up normally, just with 4GB instead of 2! Best Price at $90 with 1-day ship.!Customer Review: Works great in a MacBook Pro (Summer 2009)
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this Crucial 4GB memory kit CT2KIT25664BC1067 to install in 13-inch MacBook Pro (Summer 2009); the latest as of this writing with a SD card slot. The memory, once installed, has worked perfectly even though I never did run memtest86+ (memory diagnostics program) to validate they are error free.
Regarding the install on this particular laptop, you should know the memory slots are finicky and may require to reseat the memory several times. I went through several boot beeps, turn off, open the back of the laptop, reseat, close and try again. The total install time was about 30 minutes.
All said, this memory is definitely recommended.
Customer Review: Great upgrade for my 27" iMac
Summary: 5 Stars
Buying memory from Apple is just a waste of money. I purchased this set of chips to upgrade my fairly new iMac 27" from 4gb to 8gb. Thankfully iMac's now have 4 slots instead of only 2 so eventually I can upgrade to 16gb of ram. Crucial is a brand that you can trust and rely on. I snapped these chips in under 5 minutes and was up and running with no problems. I use Photoshop a lot and was working on a huge file and saw a big difference compared to when I only had 4gb ram. I'm super happy that I upgraded!!! Price was just right too. Saved a bit of money buying the 2 chips rather than one single 4gb. I'm on a major tight budget and this was my option. Great product!Customer Review: Works well with Early 2009 Mac mini
Summary: 5 Stars
I upgraded my 2009 Mini from 1GB to 4GB.
With 1GB, the mini would max out on memory if there were multiple users logged each with a few apps running. With 4GB, that bottle neck is gone.
After the upgrade, the shared Video RAM went from 128MB to 256MB. There is a noticeable performance increase with added video ram...iTunes visualizer and video playback are smoother.
There's a video on YouTube that shows how to disassemble the mini (search "Mac mini (Early 2009) Memory Upgrade"), the upgrade took me about 30 minutes because I was very ginger with opening the case and removing the antennas.
Customer Review: Works in Mac Mini
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Crucial 4GB DDR3/PC3-8500 to upgrade an early 2009 Mac mini from its stock 1GB memory.
I used the MacMini with it's stock 1GB RAM for 1 week and let me tell you.... the OS was slow....slow....slow. Simple Finder operations had a lag effect after selecting or opening a file/folder.
Following installation instructions elsewhere on the 'net... I replaced the RAM with the Crucial kit. So far all's been working well on the Mini. The finder is more responsive (it's almost as fast as my 2008 MacBook Pro with the same 4GB RAM) and I can have the Adobe suite open and jump back and forth with no lag.
