A tip for late 2009 iMac
I bought this RAM upgrade after an installation on my wifeโs late-2012 MacMini greatly improved performance. In that case we were replacing the factory-installed 4GB with 16GBโa 4-fold increase. Operation went from sluggish to lightning speed. It was like night and day. I had already upgraded my late 2009 iMac from the factory-installed 4GB to 12GB about 5 years ago. But with RAM prices down, I decided to try going all the way to 16GB. That would be a 1.33-fold increase. My first try went badly. But after two more attempts I got everything right and the computer is performing excellently. Here are the lessons learned in hopes it can help others. The four memory slots on this iMac are at the bottom of the case, just under the Apple logo. You shut down the computer, unplug, spread a towel on your work surface, and lay the computer screen-down on the towel. If you lift up the adjustable base, a small rectangular plate with vent holes becomes accessible. After wrapping a grounded discharge strap on your wrist, you loosen the three captive Philips head screws on the plate, revealing the four memory cards. My vent plate and the visible edge of the RAM cards were covered in dust, so it was a good time to clean that up first. Pulling out the RAM cards is a little more difficult than on most modern computers with flip-up slots. There is a plastic tab that looks like shiny black electrical tape folded over each of the two pairs of memory slots. Finagle the tab out so one end is free, and pull. Donโt be afraid to use a some force until you hear a click and see the two paired RAM cards pull towards you about an eighth- to a quarter-inch. Now ground yourself again (wrist strap preferred but not essential) and pull out the cards you want to replace. In my case there were two 4GB Crucial brand replacement memory cards in the lower (that is front) slots, and the two original MAC 2GB cards in the upper slots. I replaced the latter with my pair of new 4GB Timetec RAM cards. After pressing in the new cards and screwing the cover plate back on, I plugged the iMAC back in for the test. Disappointment! A dark screen, and a series of very scary loud beeps that last several seconds. The beeps just keep goingโnot just three as in one of the descriptions I read. Time to Google the problem. The best advice I could find was that the new memory cards, or at least one of them, are probably faulty. Now, I wondered why I had ever gotten into this, as the computer was working fine before my attempted upgrade. But with no other options, I decided to try reinstalling the original MAC 2GB cards. I unplugged the machine, opened up the cover again, and put the old cards back in. When I turned the machine back on, the infernal beeping started up again. Now I was really cursing myself. Had I destroyed a perfectly good computer, my go-to workhorse, all for an unnecessary upgrade? Time to calm down and think it through. I shut down, unplugged, and again opened up the RAM slot. Now something dawned on me. I had had some trouble replacing the cover the last two times. Could it be that the memory cards were not fully inserted? After fiddling with them a bit, I felt one of the older replacement cards in a lower slot press in more on one side so that the front edge of the card was flush with the edge of the slot. After some more pushing and wiggling, I got the other side of this card to flush up as well. It took a lot of urging, more than I had been ready to try on the first two installation attempts. Soon, with help of a large plastic spudger, I had all the cards seated flush. This time the cover went back on much more easily, and I was feeliing good about it. Plugged back in, restarted the machine, and voila! Everything worked. . . . . Phew. Project successful. Hope this might help somebody with a similar problem.

Good enough for DDR3
I mean...DDR3. You don't need great DDR3 at this point, you just need something that works in an old laptop. The Timetec fits that bill. Put this in an old Toshiba Satellite along with a sata ssd and Linux Mint and it is like a brand new machine....that weighs 13 lbs. Specs are accurate enough. Seems fast enough. Capacity reports correctly. Good value for my upgrade.

Made my old MacBook usable again
Two thumbs up! Shipping was fast, and it was easy to install(it took me approximately 5-6 minutes to install). It significantly increased the speed of my old MacBook. After installing the chips, it started up with no problems. I have had zero problems since. I use this old MacBook primarily for media and some home recording(running Logic Pro X). It works pretty well, but not as good as my MacBook Pro(obviously). I got the maximum amount of ram for this computer and it brought the computer back to life. Great purchase!

It just works!
Took me a while to decide which RAM to use and be compatible (choose carefully depending on your model!) but in the end it was a very simple process to update my 2020 Mac mini. Best low cost investment to date. Highly recommend this product, it just works!

Just what I needed
A perfect match for my 2009 macbook pro. Earlier bought another RAM model which kept freezing the system. Once I installed this, all is running so smooth and fine. A great buy!
