   I work with RAW files in iPhoto and Aperture and found it was bogging my computer down. Moving from one file to the next was slow if I made any changes at all. I talked to Apple and they suggested boosting the ram. The Apple customer service person told me that Kingston was a good brand and that installing ram was the only thing she would suggest a consumer to do to their iMac. She said my 20″ (late 2006 white body desktop dual core) iMac will hold 4GB (2 in each of the two slots, but will only use 3GB. So I should order a 2GB and a 1GB. Why pay for 4 when it won’t use it? She also said it was ok to mix size as long as they matched each other otherwise. It took me while to find the right memory for my computer. I learned that my desktop actually takes memory that usually says “laptop” in the description. As long as it is 667MHz, DDR2, SoDimm unbuffered and for Apple computers it would work in my model. I learned from a reviewer on Amazon that Kingston makes two qualities and to get the KTA. I took all this advice and ordered from Amazon because I trust them and knew if there was a problem, it would be taken care of. Plus the price was good and FREE shipping is always nice. Some sites charge $6 or $7 for a tiny package. I got them both quickly, but a day apart for some reason. They are considerable smaller than PC versions.
   They were easy to install. I’ve installed memory in PC’s (never a Mac) before but I still I got instructions from the Apple website. I just unplugged everything, laid it down, and took off the middle grate on the bottom. Be sure to softly pad the surface you lay your computer face down on. I pulled the white clips and they both popped loose. Apple says you will “hear a click” when they seat, but you must have to be a dog to hear it. I did FEEL a little soft snap though. Just FYI, large bold print said “don’t use the security clips to seat memory”. I fired it up and it worked perfectly. I can tell a difference from the 1GB total to the 3 I now have. Especially when working in Aperture with raw files.

   I installed 2 RAMs on my white Macbook 2.4 GHz. It works like a charm. and nothing else matters.

   Couldn’t have asked for better service. When i couldn’t use the part Amazon’s return process was very expedient. Shipping was reimbursed and return shipping was taken care off. Could not ask for better service.

   My Macintosh programs we getting slow. Especially iPhoto and iMovie. Enter this product. I got a quote from the local Apple store to upgrade and it was really expensive (but they would install it for free). I patiently waited. I had to make sure that my two year old Mac was compatible. Once I had the product, it was a snap to order from Amazon….free shipping!
   The installation was easy and all it needed was a simple reboot. Now my memory-intensive programs run like a champ! I’m not very good with computer stuff, but to all of those DIY’ers out there, this is something that anybody can accomplish with having to pay excessive Apple prices. Thanks.

   I got two of these to upgrade my Dell Inspiron E1505 and it works like a charm. After the easy installation my computer recognized that there was new memory and it went through the diagnostics (very easy to do) and it took between 45 minutes and an hour to make sure everything was working like it was supposed to. Now my computer starts much faster, programs start faster and I can run more programs than before. This is a great buy. Just make sure that this RAM is right for you.

   I purchased this for my Compaq computer. The key notch is different, so the memory does not fit. ANTonline ignored my emails until 30 days ran, then refused to exchange it. Complained to Amazon, who said tough. So will send the next 10 times ($350) of business elsewhere before I will use Amazon again.

   i had 512mb on my dell. 2 sticks of these and the system flys. the service i received was very fast and reliable. I would do business again with them in the future.

   Need to have better instructions for installing. Computer does not recognize the memory increase.

   Purchased to replace the 512mb Ram that came in my Toshiba laptop. Switched that for 2 of these 1Gb sticks and have had them in use in my notebook for over 2 years now and no problem yet.

    Anyone that knows anything about computers will tell you with today’s programs on your computer, more physical memory is a must. Check to see what you have and how much you can add and, chances are your computer will speed up to where it used to be. This PNY memory sure did the trick for my old Dell and the price was great on Amazon.
