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.
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!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
