## Description

Review: The shipping was fast and the memory look so good in hand - I was nervous because this is my first time buying and installing memory on a iMac computer. I have a 2009 late iMac which comes with only 4gb of ram. I mostly use the computer for video editing in final cut pro, I use Lightroom, and adobe Photoshop. I was all was having crashes and my computer would freeze up while doing these programs. When editing my videos would be so darn sluggish in final cut pro to wear I wanted to just hang myself with a thread of yarn. The shipping was fast and the memory look so good in hand. I exchanged it with no problem. The computer booted up as normal but a tad bit faster. Once it came to the main screen it didn't take forever for programs to pull up which was amazing. I opened up Final Cut Pro and It's was quick. Not lighten fast but it was quick. I started editing some footage and mannnnnn!!! That joint was working way faster than before. My videos weren't skipping like before and my playbacks and imports were smooth. I've seen a big difference in my speed performance. If you need a boost..this memory will restore the walking dead. I do still have issues every now and then which isn't all the ram but the ram is solid and you should get it now if you need that boost.
Review: Good upgrade - I needed to update my old Mac Mini 2010. I has 3Gb RAM installed and it was rather slow to open apps and switch between them. This was the answer to my problems. Memory was eat to install and fit well and worked without any problems. Helped resolve my speed issues

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good upgrade

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I didn't know what I was missing...
*by M***L on July 13, 2019*

I'd been having random crashes until my machine finally just stopped working. The issue? A bad RAM module. More-so, it finally stopped working when the second RAM module died. With a project deadline looming, I didn't have the time to get a whole new machine set up, leaving me with 1 choice: repair. My machine started with 4G - not nearly enough for software development let alone much else (yay memory leak!). The modules that failed were an upgrade to 8G b/c at the time my machine (mainly due to OS) didn't support more (I know, I found out the hard way first...). I was so happy to find this listed as supported by my specific Mac, that I did a good bit of research to validate the claim, and took the plunge. I didn't know what I was missing... these RAM modules make my machine run like new again! 16G in a late-2009 Macbook and it FLIES!!! No more lag, programs open quick, sleep is near instantaneous, and starting Web Servers or larger development applications happen in a fraction of the time than they used to! Do your research, verify support with Apple using your *serial number*, not just model, and search other sites with that data to ensure compatibility. I hope you find your machine is supported and get the same elation from performance as I have.
