Only gonna buy memory from Crucial NOW!

"I often have Safari, Itunes, Adium, along with another program or two open all at once. I also have to open VMware from time to time. Before I upgraded from 2GB to the Crucial 4GB, I would experience a good deal of slow down after a few hours of use. My system would run out of room and start to page out a lot more. The hard drive would start getting noisy and I would experience some slowdown. Ever since I ins..." Read Full Review »

"I bought this before I got my MacBook Pro to bump up the memory from 2GB to 4GB. I had about 1 day to play with it before I upgraded it to 4GB and since nothing was installed on my machine, I really couldn't tell the difference but that's only because I never tried to push the memory.

"No need for RAM upgrade as I use a MAC. Having said that, upgrading was so easy, why not prolong the life of my MAC, for several more years by upgrading the RAM. Super easy to get the exact match on RAM. Putting it in was a breeze. Will never buy RAM anyplace else. "
