    Went to Best Buy, spoke to the Mac adviser, showed me the RAM. Bought it, took it home, installed it. Worked right away.

    Typically I haven't had problems with memory upgrades. This one didn't cut it though. But the return was simple and easy. A replacement may be fine so I would still recommend. I think I just got a bad one.

    I haven't seen much improvement in the overall performance of my computer, which leads me to believe perhaps it wasn't a memory issue, so my review is only "average" because it's neither good nor bad.

    I added this chip to a slower Windows computer I have and it made a big difference. I have purchased several PNY products and have been very happy.

    Device boosted the speed of my system 10 fold. I purchased this after my 2GB Ram went out, it was cheaper to buy it at best buy then to let apple tamper.

    I bought the PNY for the price. Yes there are other sticks out there that are better in quality and performance but I don't need the best for what I do.

    I wanted to upgrade my iMac's memory from its 8GB to 32GB and BestBuy sold me this brand, however, it is NOT COMPATIBLE with the iMac!!! It needs different GHz and has different PC-##### requirement. Therefore, on boot up it beeps once, indicating that no memory has been detected. I returned the RAM and ordered the correct memory directly from Amazon as I don't trust in the BestBuy sales people. I'm sure this memory works great with a PC but not with an apple computer and I expected them to know that since they were selling it to me.

    I initially got the wrong memory because the label does not show the number of pins. Had to return to the store and exchange for the correct memory.

    I can open & run multiple programs without slowing the laptop down. The screen is easy on the eyes and I love the 10 key on the keyboard.
