    Not compatible with all laptops, even if it's the proper type. Didn't boot up with either module, when used individually or as a pair. Machine wouldn't recognize them. Not a problem with the laptop. Other modules work just fine.

      Hi Bestbuyer,

      We recommend that you check with your system manufacturer to ensure that it supports this kits speed and capacity.

    I upgraded my mackbook pro because I work with big files (RAWs) and it's amazing the difference when you use Photoshop. Just for the record: This is something VERY important to know: Corsair has two lines of laptop memory, parts that start with CMSA are optimized for Mac laptops and (CMSO 16GX3M2A1333C9) is designed for non-Mac laptops. Generally the speeds and capacities are mirrored so that they have the same speeds and capacities for both platforms. -- Reference from Corsair Customer Support ---

      Hi Deb,

      Seems like it'd be a complaint you have to place with them and not leave it on the memory itself as it wouldn't have been compatible with your system and you're rating the advice.

      Feel free to reach out and we can help: support.corsair.com CorsairGaming

    I installed this 16GB upgrade in my HP Pavillion DV6 laptop. The laptop recognized the RAM immediately in the BIOS and in Windows. Noticable performance boost, especially when launching and running HD video files. Could not be happier with my purchase.
