Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (15.4-inch) System:

Very easy to install [...] Performance did increase for 3D applications, film editing etc. Definetely would recommend this as a cheaper and as reliable option as RAM from apple.

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (15.4-inch) System:

[...]Easy to install with no problems (apart from a tough little screw that threatened not to budge).You don't need to buy any fancy screwdrivers - standard mini flat head screwdriver will do, which you can purchase for a couple of quid from most DIY retailers.Extra 2GB of RAM (from 2GB to 4GB)has resulted in:1) Faster launching of applications (especially Office 2008 apps which are really painful to load on a 2GB system)2) Ability to run VMWare Windows XP2 with no degradation in system performance - can now just leave it running in the background if needs beFor under £40, this has to be a no brainer upgrade! Don't think twice - order that memory and your MacBook Pro will love you for it :-)

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (15.4-inch) System:

I had to visit a friend's place packed with the right screwdrivers, a grounding mat and straps. It took me less then 15 min's to install including the time spent starting up Apple Hardware Test to double check my memory which passed with flying colours.

Aperture, Photoshop, and Canon's Digital Photo Professional just fly, all together at the same time. I now enjoy my increased productivity.

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (15.4-inch) System:

The installation was straightforward, and all seems well with the performance of my powerbook pro, but even though the computer recognizes the new RAM, in Photoshop CS3, I'm shown 3GB of RAM as the maximum recognized...curious?

Many thanks,

Peter Fraser

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (15.4-inch) System:

Absolutely fantastic product, I mainly bought it so that I could run Windows XP through VMware without it slowing down OSX. It worked and runs very fast with no slow down.

The product came packaged safe and securely. I spent a day driving round shops trying to find a #00 Phillips screwdriver to undo the RAM Casing on my Macbook Pro. Found a nice set of precision screwdrivers which worked perfectly.

The only problem I have with it is the fact that it lowers the battery life. But that's what you get with upgrading.

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (15.4-inch) System:

[...] installation were all quick and easy. I had expected more gain from going from 2GB to 4GB on a MBP though, particularly when using Aperture. Some minor speed gains in Finder operations, but that's about it. Not Crucial's fault though. They were as reliable as ever.

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (15.4-inch) System:

I should stress that I have used Crucial (both US and UK) before, with complete satisfaction.
In this case the memory installed easily, and worked without any problem (in a MacBook Pro) for a few weeks. Then it went bad. The original Apple memory was reinstalled and worked perfectly, but the Crucial modules, when I tried again, would not even allow the machine to boot, giving simply the ominous three tone cluster. Crucial are replacing the modules, so I hope for no further problems.

Service & Delivery comments:

The first order did not arrive. I blame this on the UK Post Office (as within the past year other small packets have not been delivered). Crucial resent the order immediately I informed them, but of course time had been wasted. It arrived in good condition, and my experiences of Customer Service have always been good.
