I have a white Macbook circa 2008. It had 2GB. I replaced the two 1GB's with a 4GB and a 2GB. This was back in December 2012. I've got 6GB confirmed. It's worked fine ever since. No problems whatsoever.

No. You can replace the two 2G RAM chips in your Mac with two 4G RAM chips (if the model of Mac you have will accept and read a total of 8G of RAM) and you should notice improved speed and absence of hesitation and "spinning beachball." If you replace only one 2G RAM chip with a 4G RAM chip, you won't see a lot of difference from the original(I was told by a Mac technician).

I put it in my iMac 27" Mid 2010 and it worked perfectly. 3.2 GHz i3 but I don't know about Macbook I am sorry. I did a chat with Crucial direct and they were fantastic help. I told them I was ordering through Amazon and they had no problem with that by still helping me find the right RAM for my iMac. Crucial all the way!

This model can use 2 sticks of 4GB 1067MHz (8GB total) of RAM. I used the Kingston 1066MHz modules in a friend's MacBook & it worked perfectly. I like Kingston & put an 8GB set in my new 2012 Mac mini.

I'm considering upgrading the memory- does anyone know where the cheapest and most reliable place is to buy compatible mac memory?

Hi Vicky! If your Macbook is an Intel base processor you should be able to use this RAM. I suggest that you check you Macbook to confirm compatibility. I know it could be difficult to select a good, not over price RAM. But this one work for me. -Check on Apple menu>About this Mac> and look for the info about memory upgrade. Also, is you know you Macbook S/N you could google it. I wish you the best of luck!

That will probably work, but check the Corsair website. Macs can be very finicky about RAM.

No. You cannot use these RAM for your MAC, these are just for PC, you need these others ones: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-12800-204-Pin-Notebook-CT102464BF160B/dp/B006YG8X9Y

Hello Mia,Your MacBook is from about the right year. The only way I can be sure is if you give me your macbook's model number. It's usually written really small on the bottom of the computer. It will probably look something like "MA699LL/A," if you email the model number of your MacBook I will let you know exactly which ram to buy and how much you can use. Thanks

Go to Crucial Memory Scan. Here is the link: http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/MacOS.aspx If Amazon removes the link you can google to find it. There, you will find a download which will scan your computer and tell you exactly what you need. (I'm not at all a techie and I used this and then upgraded my own RAM - a minor, no a major, miracle!) Also, there are YouTube videos which will show you how to do it. Just type in your computer year and model, and "Upgrade Memory." Good luck.

My Mac runs just fine I admit I didn't pay that much attention to it other then proper installation. I'm running four 4gb cards and there hasn't been an issue. I do advise the if you are only upgrading meaning adding ram not replacing. Leave the original ram in its original location and just add the new ram to the open slots. Hope that help you in your decision.

Crucial has always been reliable for us until now. Two Retina iMacs in our office experienced kernel panics when using this RAM. Unless Russian roulette is your thing, go with different RAM. We changed to Corsair, and all is good. Answer regarding: Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3/DDR3L-1600 MHz (PC3-12800) CL11 204-Pin SODIMM Memory for Mac CT2K8G3S160BM / CT2C8G3S160BM

just purchase the Ram elsewhere and do it yourself. It's very easy to install. Amazon only sells the pre-configured units from apple.
