Do you really think that i need to buy a kit of 2 of these memory? I have a Macbook pro 2012 with 4 GB of RAM,

Depends on the usage. If you want to use a Virtual Machine with Windows on top of Mac OS, 4GZbs will make the computer quite slow. I have 8+2= 10GB. That is more than enough for me. Regards

you always have to do it in pairs, if your looking to upgrade to 8gig you need two 4gigs two of these will upgrade you to 16 which is lightening fast.

Hello, since I made the upgrade I can keep open like 15-20 tabs (in total) on different browser at the same time, without any problem. I think that for photo-video editing can be a great boost.

It is not necessary to install DDR3 memory sticks in pairs, however you will experience much better performance if you do because DDR3 memory is optimized to operate twice as fast in dual channel mode in matched pairs, as is your current configuration. Although the 2012 MacBook Pro has an "official" 8GB limit it can actually address 16GB. You will get much faster performance by upgrading to 8GB using two matched 4GB sticks rather than installing just one 8GB stick with the existing 2GB stick. Why upgrade memory capacity but downgrade performance by installing only one stick?

Hello I bought the memory for my mac mini. I use the video in this link to install it http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_mini/faq_core/mac-mini-intel-ram-upgrade-instructions.htmlI hope it is useful for you

I placed this memory in a MacBook and went from 2Gb 4Gb. It works well. I do not know anything about the B540 compatibility question but usually increasing RAM will improve performance if your applications are over-taxing your current set-up. The processor has a lot to do with it as well, certainly where speed is concerned.

Hi Willy, I will answer categorically YES. But, here is a great article from MacWorld http://www.macworld.com/article/1143511/unibody_macbook_review.html where it confirms that 8Gb can be installed. On thing for sure, Kingston makes great quality products. So, after reading the mac-Article, I'm would get the memory. 4Gb won't take you too far. My macMini (with the same processor as your laptop) came with 4Gb once I ran PhotoShop I was swimming in glue!

That depends on your machine and the performance you expect from it. I'm not sure about the architecture of the MBP, but if its slots are in banks of two, as long as you keep the memories in the banks matched you should be fine. I've never had an issue mixing memory sizes, manufacturers or speeds in a single platform, as long as I stick with the computer manufacturer's recommendations on matching pairs.

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.

I've installed it and it doesn't work with the original Apple RAM installed. now i don't know whether to buy another 2 ones to have a total of 32GB of RAM. Edited 2 days later : ive put 2 apple original and these 2 and it seems to work now! good!

Those are actually a pair of 4GB modules. If you you buy two of them, you would get the 16GB you aiming at. The only downside is that, since mid-2010 iMacs have only 4 memory slots, you'll have to ditch the two 2GB modules that originally came with your machine. You may want to consider keeping the original modules and add only one pair of 4GB modules, to a total of 12GB, if it's not crucial for you to reach 16GB.

Is it posable, yes... is it recommended..OH HELL NOI would recommend that you remove both 2gb and replace with the two 4gb.. The way RAM works, is in a way that it will use both ports at the same time, and having two different sticks is only asking for trouble.. Where as if both are spec the same, they would operate at the same rate.

just look on the web site for witch ram you need becouse ddr2 ram is the same on mac or pc

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!

Worked for me in my mid-2012 Macbook Pro i5 2.5ghz. But I ended up upgrading again to the 16gb of memory from Crucial for a bit more money after a few months. Just wanted more. Be sure to download "Memory Clean" to keep track of your memory usage day-in and day-out.

Don't know anything about Macbooks and how tolerant the memory is for those products. I am a Windows based person.

I'm with Jeff S....you are going to want to put memory in pairs, so I would only recommend 12gb if you find 2x6GB chips. A 16GB kit (2x8GB chips) are pretty reasonably priced at this point, so that would by my recommendation.

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

The more sticks in pair, the better it will function. You would want to get 4 sticks of 8gb if you have enough slots. What in the world are you running that needs 32gb of ram? I don't think I've ever used over 8 gb at one time.
