Fantastic! I render a lot of 3D images and was starting to run out of RAM (only 2GB) on my Mac Pro. I was going to buy an additional 2GB but the price was so good I went for an extra 4GB!

Comments about Crucial 4GB kit (2GBx2) Upgrade for a Apple Mac Pro (8-core Xeon 5400 Series) System:

This memory is exactly the same as the original installed by Apple, only at a fraction of the price, I'd advise anyone to purchase their Mac Pro with the basic memory configuration and then use Crucial to upgrade to more, I will be getting another 4Gb shortly to take the ram in my Mac Pro up to 12Gb, and all applications especially Lightroom and Photoshop CS4 when running side by side fly.

Comments about Crucial 4GB kit (2GBx2) Upgrade for a Apple Mac Pro (8-core Xeon 5400 Series) System:

I compose film and TV music and have just upgraded from a pretty quick PC to an 8 core Xeon Intel Mac Pro. I got the off-the-shelf version and decided to upgrade myself as the manufacturer's prices are ridiculous!

The RAM itself was super easy to install and I've had no problems with it at all.

If there are any down-sides then it's that I expected a more noticable improvement in speed going from 2GB up to 6GB. However, to be fair I am running everything from the supplied 320GB HD at th moment, which is always going to slow things up when you work with intensive programs and large audio sample libraries. I have just got a 2nd 500GB HD which I can transfer my libraries to, leaving far less strain on the program drive. I'm sure this will help!

Comments about Crucial 4GB kit (2GBx2) Upgrade for a Apple Mac Pro (8-core Xeon 5400 Series) System:

Waited for several months for this to be back in stock. Ordered 2 kits 4 x 2Gb and have not been disappointed. Think I may order another 2 kits :-)

I'm also using the 2 x 1Gb for a total of 10Gb and have to say I'm very happy with the increased performance, especially in Aperture and Garageband.

Comments about Crucial 4GB kit (2GBx2) Upgrade for a Apple Mac Pro (8-core Xeon 5400 Series) System:

It's the same OEM memory module that the computer manufacturer fits, just with a Crucial sticker over the top. Key point is its a considerable price saving over the factory fitted memory. Which makes it perfect. Can't lose. Total no-brainer purchase. Thanks Crucial!

Comments about Crucial 4GB kit (2GBx2) Upgrade for a Apple Mac Pro (8-core Xeon 5400 Series) System:

Needed to upgrade my standard Mac Pro from 2Gb RAM to 6Gb RAM so purchased two 2Gb memory modules from Crucial. Great value for money and identical to the Apple supplied RAM. Comes with its own heat sink, and couldn't be easier to install. Highly recommended, and will buy from Crucial again.

...everything seems fine, PS runs faster, which is all I wanted - no problems as yet, really simple to instal, using either Mac or Crucial's instructions. If I can do it anyone can.
Modules feel quality unlike other I have held.
So no far all fine
