Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo (20-inch) System:

I do a lot of video editing and graphic design work. I originally had 2gb of RAM, but wanted to max out my system to 3gb. I wasn't expecting much difference but Premiere, Encore, and After Effects all run much more smoothly. No more crashes in Encore and Render times seem to be much enhanced. Installation was incredibly easy and I had no problems with my system recognizing the new RAM.

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo (20-inch) System:

When I bought my Mac systems, I thought I would just replace them whenI needed more memory. But, Crucial has allowed me to breath new life intothese old dogs and they're running just fast as the new pups in the showroom. Installing was a breeze, I may have gone overboard with what I really needed but the prices are so great I figured I might as well top my Mac desktop and laptop with as much memory as these guys could handle.Thanks Crucial for the great products[...]

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo (20-inch) System:

I've only had it installed for a short time with a 1GB , for 3GB total up from 1GB total. I can open multiple browsers & numerous windows on each. I was so busy one day that I didn't realize I had about 20 windows open on Foxfire & another 14 on Safari & there was no slow down in performance. Prior to this upgrade when I opened more than maybe 5 on Safari & 8 on Foxfire & it slowed very noticeably. Also Photos work is much faster, that really used to bog my system down. I was also swayed by all the good reviews I read. The one or two bad reviews had me nervous as a first time buyer, but I could not be anymore pleased.

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo (20-inch) System:

Service was good from Crucial but the module was slightly different in size from original Apple module though it did fit. Would have been a better product had it worked after installing it but it didn't. Tried to save $ by ordering non-Apple memory but will not be trying it again.

Comments about Crucial 2GB Upgrade for a Apple iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo (20-inch) System:

I only buy memory from Crucial because I know it will fit without any problem. Did I mention that you can't beat their prices? I searched high and low to make sure I was getting a good deal. I even checked[...] and Crucial still had a better selection, lower price on shipping and the product and Crucial has there "memory finder" tool that guaranties you get the right product. Thanks Crucial!
