Kingston Apple 4GB Kit 667MHz DDR2 SoDimm Dual Channel Memory (KTA-MB667K2/4GR)


Memory

I purchased this as an anniversary present for my Macbook Pro 15" (Intel). I purchased the laptop about a year ago but did not upgrade the memory, since Apple has no clue how cheap memory is in the real world and over charge for the upgrade.

Pro:
1. It was cheaper than through Apple. Apple puts a premium on upgrades when you customize laptops. This was a lot better price.
2. Easy to install. It took me less than 15 minutes to install and get the Macbook Pro to recognize it.
3. Twice the speed than I had before. You know how it is; computers are never as fast as we would like them to be. (I remember 128MB memory PCs, and I am referring to 2GB as "slower"). I can't say I'm blown away by the speed yet. I am confident that it is twice as fast and that I have maximized my memory. I'll wait for my next large Excel spreadsheet to see if there is something tangible I can point to.

Con:
1. None so far for the hardware itself.
2. Apple does not support it, so I have heard. I am keeping the ones that came with my laptop in case I have to get the laptop serviced. I will swap the old ones back in if I need to get the laptop serviced by Apple.

Buy Kingston Apple 4GB Kit 667MHz DDR2 SoDimm Dual Channel Memory (KTA-MB667K2/4GR)!
