Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: The ram is some of the few cas4 rated ram. Most laptop ram is cas5.
Cons: There are no special SPD on ram for Mac's like Corsair claims. If you look at their benchmarks they are comparing this ram to a machine running standard 1gb of cas5 ram not even 4gb. The real world score really is max of 9% faster in SOME apps and this is related is cas4 timing and 4gb vs. 1gb.

To set the record straight on latency
Tech Level: high
Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: These results demonstrate that you can save up to 28% in processing time with the VSA4GSDSKIT667C4 RAM versus the default 1GB (2x512MB) RAM and up to 19% versus a standard 4GB (2x2GB) memory configuration.
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: 19% increase in performance is very good for the cost of this product. Not sure were the poster above got 9&...

2nd Time - Defective RAM
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Efficient RMA service and speedy re-delivery from NewEgg, but...
Cons: This was a replacement for the same product I purchased earlier which was DOA. Once again, this new RAM is apparently defective since my MacBook Pro will not boot with it installed. Mac is fine with original RAM, and it is definitely the correct speed/type for t...

Had to return...
I rated this one star for the fact that it did not work in my new MacBook and that Corsair's performance claims are overblown.
I bought this for a 1 day old White Macbook (late Jan '09 model) to go from 2GB to 4 GB and I immediately had problems on start-up. Also, it caused weird video artifacts and I could only guess that this is due to the fact that the nVidia video card uses motherboard ram for video ram so the corsair ram problems also showed up in video?? I double checked for p...

Reliable and fully compatible with MACbook pro 2.5
I recommend this Corsair memory product to all, installed in my new Macbook pro 2.5 (leopard and Vmware Fusion beta 2.0 "windows xp and vista) and its been 2 weeks and no problems.
My friend purchased his memory from another manufacturer and he was having
intermittent problems with his new Mac with application crashing.
He followed my advice and purchased the Corsair memory and his Macbook is now working with no problems.

have it like it
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Works great, good price for name brand 4G mac memory.
You can find cheaper if you look hard for "house brand" memory but this is by far the best price I found for top of the line big name and Mac Specific memory.
Cons: Questionable methods used by Cosair to show huge gains. 4G vrs 1G will always win. Hard to find here on N...

Great boost to Macbook Pro
I had to upgrade my RAM from 2GB to 4GB as I was running Win XP on a virtual machine using Parallels and felt that upgrading the RAM will make my Mac OS and Windows programs run more fluidly and it did so. Great product, works without any problem.

Great Product
I was looking for memory for my Macbook Pro that was both high quality and reliable. These chips have been nothing but that so far. I received them, had them installed in about 5 minutes, no problem installing them, and then booted up. There is no real difference in most of the categories, however when working with large graphics files there is a huge difference. I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking for 4 gigs of memory for their Macbook, Macbook Pro, or iMac.

Good Stuff
Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Unlike the other memory manufactures, Corsair says this module is made for my MBP (2.4ghz). It also has lower latency thats supposed to run faster. I picked Corsair because of quality, i think they make a good product and most any review out their rates Corsair as one of the best, not to mention they have a lifetime warranty. And my mac even faster now too<...

Excellent
Wow, I'm amazed in the difference in my white MacBook. I upgraded it from 1Gb and now it's flying. Easy installation and believe me it does really a great difference if you are upgrading from 1 or 2 gig. But if you are upgrading from a non-low-latency I think there's no need nor improvement.
