What can i say.... arrived very well packed, opened it up and the apple reference number was on the packaging -- YES the actual apple reference number, properly printed on the kingston label!!!! this built me up with real confidence as i had ordered it to boos t my mac book pro. Popped it in the mac, and as expected it worked first time right away. The difference in performance has been fantastic especially doing video editing. Highly recommended to any one with a mac. when i popped the official mac memory modules out was shocked to see no brand name or anything on it, other than "made in china' on it, so reckon this module is probably better quality and value than the official apple one.
8GB vs 4GB on the MacBook Pro 4GB of RAM is a good amount but 8GB is better. On a daily basis I frequently have the following apps open all at once: Photoshop, iTunes, Preview, Terminal, Transmit, Transmission, Text Wrangler, iChat, and here’s the real RAM hog: Safari, Chrome, Firefox, when you have three web browsers open at once with a ton of tabs open, your system will often slow to a crawl (web developers in particular can relate here). If you throw in a virtual machine, you’ve long hit the point of painful slowdowns. The reason for the slowdown , when Mac OS X is forced to start swapping data from physical memory to the 5400 RPM hard drive you feel the drag. With 8GB I am doing the same work now that I was earlier today, but earlier today I was using 1.5GB of swap and now there is none being used, the difference is remarkable – no more beach balls and halts. The MacBook Pro simply performs better with 8GB of RAM. I think the bottom line is this; Mac OS X likes to use RAM, the more you give it, the better it performs under stress. 8GB of RAM is probably one of the most cost effective upgrades for a MacBook Pro that you can get.Read full review
