Customer Review: Works flawlessly with new Macbook Pro
Summary: 5 Stars
After doing a bit of research how to upgrade RAM to 4GBs in new Macbook Pro (2009 edition, MB990LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop with 2GBs RAM) and failing to order from Crucial directly I went with this option. The upgrade was painless - with the right screwdriver for those little screws on the back of the laptop it took me 10 minutes to replace the default RAM (and I spent most of that time by looking at the other internal parts to see how the laptop is built). It works flawlessly so far (couple of days). I tested the RAM by loading memory hungry applications to fill the 4 GBs to see both modules work fine.Customer Review: works great in my early-2009 macbook
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this in a 2.26ghz white macbook (nvidia 9400 graphics, intel core 2 duo model), and it's made multitasking a breeze in OS X. I frequently use virtualization software and like to leave iphoto and itunes running, so I was quickly running out of memory with the default 2gb the laptop ships with. It's easy to swap out the memory in this model (pop out a few screws on the bottom and voila). It might not be significantly cheaper than just ordering 4gb in the first place from Apple, but this way I have a spare 2gb set in case of computer troubleshooting emergencies.Customer Review: Worked like a charm!

I bought this memory for my new Al unibody macbook. I originally bought the bottom line with 2Ghz processor and 2 gigs of RAM. However, once I started using Parallels, I found that 2 gigs was no longer enough to effectively support both operating systems simultaneously (Mac OS X and Windows XP). I bought this memory partially with a gift card, so I spent a total of less than $40 for 4 gigs of ram. Now, my macbook can run Parallels all the time without a hiccup. I leave it running in coherence mode and I barely notice any lag at all with OS X or XP.Customer Review: Should have upgraded a long time ago
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this RAM for my 2008 aluminum 13.3" MacBook (before it was renamed MacBook Pro). I'm not a computer genius, but I can definitely point out what visible differences this upgrade made.
Going from 2gb to 4gb is a huge boost. Before, I could not run Photoshop CS4 before without it lagging, even after I turn off all other programs.
With this new RAM, in can run CS4, Firefox, Microsoft Word, Lightroom 3, and a few other programs without running into memory problems. Best $60 I have spent so far on my computer!
Customer Review: Great RAM for my new MacBook Pro 13
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't even power up the new MacBook Pro 13" before removing the back and popping this in. The entire bottom of the MacBook comes off (10 tiny screws around the perimeter) and exposes everything. I replaced my HDD too with a 500gb before even powering on. MacBook Pro + 4gb RAM = lots of juice.
I'm a professional computer geek and run a few different OS-es. I have VMware running Ubuntu, Fedora, and Windows Server. I can load up with this RAM and run a virtual (or 2 or 3) without even seeing the performance hit.
