    I'm loving the speed increase I got but I'm afraid that it isn't completely compatible with my MacBook Pro. I get random resets but it's deal with-able.

    The first modules I purchases from bestbuy.com had the same specs as these modules and they did not work in my iMac 2012, so I returned them to the store and got these, and they work great!

    This product was not compatible with my MacBook even though I had bought the computer with Best Buy and was assured this was the right memory for that computer. Caused my computer to crash over and over until I had it removed. Also, be careful because Best Buy makes return very difficult after 14 days even if product non-compatible.

    After asking for help to upgrade the ram in my laptop it was really simple. They had it in stock and even went over with me on how to install it just to make sure it went as planned.

    but for some reason the ASUS 540 doesn't like it. Tried 3 different chips and still can't get the memory expanded - but that is NOT PNY's fault, in my opinion.
