[QUOTE="JoshJ, post: 1512508, member: 282115"] Hey Nick, Thanks a lot.. Crucial sales did tell me to upgrade the EFI before installing the RAM, using this link [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1237]EFI and SMC firmware updates for Intel-based Macs[/url] and d'loading/installing the MacBookProEFIUpdate2.8 I tried this and got the following msg at first page of the installer: "This software is not supported on your system." I also ran the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update in Utilities and got the following error: "The MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update will not update over your current Firmware version of MBP51.88Z.007E.B06.1202061253." I think I remember seeing something about the above EFI upgrade requiring osx 10.7. I have just upgraded to 10.8. Could this be the problem? [/QUOTE]
