[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 718925, member: 9385"] Wrong. It just means I can't use the "dual channel" performance feature that twin modules provides. Otherwise, the extra RAM provides far more performance boost than anything dual channel would provide. For a machine that can only address 3.3 gig even if I put in matched pairs of 2 gig modules, this is the best I can do, and so far it has been quite stable and speedy. Tests are out there that indicate that not only is it stable, but far superior to only having 2 gig of RAM over the three. Apple and Crucial can say all they want about what memory configurations serve their needs based on both sales and support; doesn't mean that they are true statements. Meanwhile I'm enjoying my 3 gig of RAM. No kernel panics yet, and I've been firing up Photoshop CS3, Bridge, Parallels VM, the whole works and no problems.
