Comments about Crucial 2GB kit (1GBx2) Upgrade for a Apple iMac 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo (17-inch) System:
I use my Mac X mostly to check e-mail or do WORD projects.
It is older and I did NOT want to replace it since I have a PC laptop for business.
My Mac never use to give me trouble but I did something(?) to make it work better but.....
So I took it to the A---- store and the 'genius's' there pointed me to crucial.com since they do not work on older models...lucky for me!!!!
I could have gotten by with just one kit but it was so reasonably priced that I purchased the 2 Kit!!!!!!
I am so HAPPY!!! and so is my almost obsolete(not anymore!) Mac!!!!
Thank you!!!

Comments about Crucial 2GB kit (1GBx2) Upgrade for a Apple iMac 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo (17-inch) System:
I replaced memory in an iMac Early 2006 model, which formerly had 500 meg in one slot. I upgraded to 2 1-meg cards, based on the Crucial utility. The memory went into the iMac compartment; however the clip mechanism was *really* hard to close. (I wonder if the chipset was a bit larger). I was afraid to close it -- it felt like it would break the new memory. I was going to leave the compartment open, since the iMac system utility showed 2 gig of working memory, but it looked rather ugly.
Finally I took a deep breath and jammed it closed. Luckily everything still worked and the iMac is at max capacity. However I don't plan to ever take the memory out again, and don't know if I'll be able to.

I bought my first generation dual core Intel processor iMac second hand after my last iMac's power supply went to sleep permanently. During the hard drive data transfer I had my Apple techie install this memory upgrade. I can't speak for the ease of install but she had no complaints about the job. Although I had test run the mac when receiving it before the upgrade, I think I can detect faster performance. It streams net media well, runs simultaneous applications easily, seems smooth to me.

The ordering process from Crucial was painless and quick. The memory was easy to install and I noticed an instant improvement. The only heads up I would give is to make sure when inserting the memory not to allow the small release bars to close before the memory is all the way in. They will close on their own when both sims are in place. If they do close you will need to remove them and reinsert them.

I've been feeling a bit guilty lately. I passed my iMac "down" to my wife when I purchased a MacBook Pro. She was complaining the other day about how slow it was so I checked the specs out. Well, it only had 512 megs' of RAM and she was trying to use some graphics programs.
I checked out Cruicial and was surprised how affordable Memory has become. I received my order in just a couple days and now she tells me it is like she got a new, faster computer! She is extremely pleased and now I don't have to feel guilty!
