[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 927929, member: 56379"] You can read tons of threads on this forum where folks have tried using less expensive memory in their Mac's...and then have all sorts of trouble. Just because some $60 dollar 4 gig upgrade for a Windows computer, and an $80 dollar 4 gig upgrade for a Mac appear to be exactly the same...they may not be...because there may be some little "teeny-weeny" specification that either or both of the upgrades are not mentioning that could make all of the difference. And thus that is the difference that causes incompatibility in a Mac. Unless you like experimenting (and the hassles that go with it)...you're better off just buying what's guaranteed to work. Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
