[QUOTE="cvx5832, post: 294841, member: 23118"] I too bought the 1GB PNY brand. The "thicker" board that the module is built on has been described as such in user reviews when I went shopping for mine. I too used *firm* force when trying to get the modules in. If I hadn't read other users' accounts, I would have backed off thinking I would break them. However I will not try to persuade you to proceed. The "force" we each describe is subjective, and could very well be caused by something else entirely. Only insight I can give you is that I had the Macbook on a table, straight up on a towel (for scratches), and while almost hugging the computer for greater control, pushing STRAIGHT DOWN with the other hand. Use your own judgment, good luck, and have fun with that extra memory. [/QUOTE]
