if your deciding on upgrading your ram do not buy corsair from your local electronics store.... i purchased a corsair 8gb kit and got home to find out that it was not dual channel thus the sticks would not work together and had to fight with the store on returning it only 3 hours later since they seemed to think i was trying to return my old ram & had to show them that it didnt work by installing 3 brand new packages from their stock room that didnt work as well to no surprise

as ive heard and read through the forums go with crucial or OWC (what i used)

Jeremy most PC stores would not be aware of the differences between PC and Mac compatible memory alas. Use Mac specialist as advised.
