Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (15.4-inch) System:

Was surprised how easy the RAM install way. Got it wrong at first as I hadn't pressed the gold edge in far enough but then did push in more and it showed up on the system. Happened noticed any performance difference but that could be a very subjective feeling. Would need a proper hardware tool to quantify that properly.

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (15.4-inch) System:

If your laptop does not start after installation and only the front light flashes (screen does not turn on), you might have done the same as me and did not push (or slightly wiggle) the memory in properly. Stressed me out no end, as I was terrified of using too much force. Just make sure the golden 'pins' are pretty much completely covered.

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (15.4-inch) System:

No increase in speed but good to have -- just in case it makes a difference. Also, why force me to write two reviews when I made one purchase of two RAMs? Bit of a waste of time. But good product as far as I can tell

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (15.4-inch) System:

I had a one meg MacBook Pro. I had to replace the 1 Mb with the new 2 Mb component and fit the old 1 Mb one in the vacant slot. Simply putting the 2 Mb one in first did not work.
I now have a great 3 Mbs.

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (15.4-inch) System:

My MacBook Pro came with the standard 1 GB RAM, when I got it second-hand, and the max it would get to was 3 GB. Based on friend's recommendations i tried Crucial, and was impressed with the scanner which told me exactly what I needed, with minimum fuss.

Use my MBP for multiple VM's, Linux and MS Windows, on VirtualBox, and yes VM's are notably faster. I also use the extra RAM for the occasional games I play on Boot Camp.

Have bought RAM in the past, cheaper, but not as good.
