Nice switchStrengths: Price Weakness: Item not what was advertized Although it was not the make I thought I would be getting it was a surprised when a better deal was presented. I do not know if the change was intentional as I was not informed but either way I am happy. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Upgrade for MacBookStrengths: Pleasing performance yield Weakness: The speed increase was less than I would have thought, going from 512MB to 2GB, but still noticeable and worth while. I upgraded the ram because of the program hanging that drives me nuts. The ram has taken care of a lot of that, and the rest I will attribute to the hard drive being a little slower than what is usually found in desktops and higher end laptops.

Great so far
Strengths: Price (no need to pay more for the same essential service)
Weakness: Packaging is crap (one chip rattled around in the box.
I bought this chip for my wife's macbook and it works great. I have not finished running memtest on it, but it is definitely making a positive difference. Apple System Profiler lists it as running @ 667Mhz. I checked Patriot's return policy (in case I received a lemon) and it seemed reasonable. I think all brands and companies put out good and bad chips, so buying into a brand does not guarantee success or failure. Just keep trying chips; that's what I was going to do. If these ram chips don't pass the memtest, I'll return them for another set of chips.
