2008/unibody Macbook NON PRO will this work? OSX 10.8.2 I have currently 4gb ram now @1067 MHz DDR3? I am 99.9% sure it will work.

I agree with Longtrain. I would double check Crucial's website and make sure that they say it will work. Safer to double check in my opinion...

Are you talking about the late 2008 model? I have the same machine and ran a system scan using Crucial's software. I also used the drop-down check. Both said this kit in not compatible--in fact, that there is no compatible 8GB RAM kit from Crucial. Go here: http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-memory-mac

If you are unsure, check out Crucial's website. They have a program that will tell you what RAM will match your computer.

My answer was for Mac Book Pro. There are several models of "MACs" so you need to do homework for your model. You may be able to do better than 4GB and at higher speed since your mode is newer than mine. Some memory sellers have downloadable memory checkers so you are shown the right memory for your machine. Good luck.

Hi Daniel,Part number KTA-MB800K2/4GR is not compatible with the Early 2008 Macbook. That system requires DDR2-667 memory and that part is DDR2-800. The compatible and recommended part number is KTA-MB667K2/4G, found here: Kingston 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM Memory Modules 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) 667MHz DDR2667/PC25400 DDR2 SDRAM 200pin KTA-MB667K2/4GThank you for choosing Kingston as your upgrade partner!-Jewel, Kingston US Technical Support

Yes this is true i have this RAM installed in my macbook pro 2011. 8gb is really all you need. You will see a big difference

Yes, it will work. You can also confirm at support.apple.com/kb/SP623 Or click the apple in the menu of you computer and then click "about this Mac" to see what type of memory your computer uses.

I bought 16GB of RAM for my 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K that I purchased in Dec of 2014. It's working great! As others have said, install in slot 2 and 4. Basically, I didn't take out the original RAM from Apple and just inserted the ones I purchased. That's it. It was good to go. I upgraded from 8GB to 24GB.

I have Mac Book Pro 2008. It is compatibel, but it did not last more than 10 days. Refund was correct and fat. though. Good luck, jaap

This event surprised me, really. It is possible that the description of non-compatibility with Mac is made by mistake by the seller. If it were not intended for my MacBook Pro 13" late 2011 version, I would have not purchased the items. But the tandem 16GB DDR3 work fine with my computer. Just to make sure, I did re-check MacBook's System information, the memory is 16GB. And of course the improvement in speed and the number of simultaneous pages opened is observed, although I do not have the metrics. Just to be sure, do call the seller first and negotiate for a guarantee of refund for return - maybe you can get it before ordering. Also check the description of the memory cards in your system.

I did. It works great. Mac Pro 3,1 is Mac Pro (early 2008), mine is a dual 2.8GHz quad core with 32GB of RAM.

There is a page on Apple's website that may answer you question (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270?viewlocale=en_US#link1). Your Mac does not support 16GB of RAM, though 8GB are enough to run both these programs smoothly. This memory is not the right choice for your Mac, as it is (PC3 - 12800), and your Mac requires (PC3 - 8500).I've already searched the one that is just right, which is in this link: Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3/DDR3L 1066 MT/s (PC3-8500) SODIMM 204-Pin Mac Memory CT2K4G3S1067M / CT2C4G3S1067M

Yes. I bought this RAM and upgraded our Macbook Pro 7.1. No problems, works perfectly.

Hi Julio, This memory is 1333MHz speed and your mac takes 1066MHz from factory. This memory will actually down clock to 1066MHz and work perfectly fine in your mac.The previous answer is correct as your mac cannot take the full advantage of a 16GB Kit and will only read up to 8GB.Best regards,GonzaloCustomer ServiceQSCComputer

I'm far from being an expert on Apple devices (I bought this for a friend) but for what I can see on the Apple web site, 2008 MacBook requires DDR2 and these are DDR3 which makes it non-compatible with your device. Sorry to give you bad news. These is what I think might work for you: Komputerbay MACMEMORY Apple 4GB (single 4GB stick) PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2 SODIMM iMac and Macbook MemoryI think 4GB is the maximum for a 2008 MacBook but as stated I'm not MacBook owner so I'm not 100% sure. Good luck!

It certainly is...I have the same model and it worked perfectly. Happy upgrading!!Addendum: If you're purchasing this to upgrade to Mountain Lion, I recommend that you also download one of the freeware memory checkers from the App Store. Even with the 4GB max RAM, OSX 10.8 is very demanding of the system's resources and you may need to clear your RAM from time to time for your system to be responsive. I usually clear the RAM 3-4 times a day, but I use some rather intensive apps. Cheers!

I have an older 2008 MacBook and so far, it's working just fine for me! &lt;3

Hi, my macbook pro is mid 2012 and I know that supports 16GB SODIMM 1600. The early 2011 supports 1600 too but, I'm not sure if it recognise 16GB ram. Check this: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1133642
