Customers also say programs run more smoothly and they feel their Mac is much faster after installing it.

Upgrading from a stock 4GB to a maximum 16GB may seem a little over the top but I'm happy that I'll never have to take the rubber base off my system again. The RAM modules came securely packaged and well ahead of the estimated delivery date. Installation was very simple with full upgrade instructions provided by Apple online. If anyone wishes to find them just click the Apple icon on your Dock and About This Mac. Click More Info... and then Memory. Finally click the link Memory Upgrade Instructions. This will take you to the page dealing with your specific model.

I was very surprised at how thin the heat-spreader on each module is but my system is a lot cooler and faster than before. I've gone from hardly ever having more than 1GB free memory to over 10GB. Program, file (Read/Write), boot and shutdown operations are all significantly faster. All in all I'm very pleased with this RAM and would recommend it to anyone wanting to get the most out of a Apple Mac Mini (Quad-Core i7 2.3GHz Processor, 4GB DDR3 SDRAM, 1TB, HD Graphics, Launched Oct 2012) as it really does make all the difference.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Dell Inspiron SE 7720
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2014

This ram has really improved system start-up and performance faster than anything I have used previously.
I'm a stickler for matched pairs - not that I have had a noticeable improvement over unmatched pairs until I installed these two.

At the time of installing, I completely rebuilt my system moving the operating system to a Crucial 240GB mSATA and moving memory hogs (SQL Server + stack & games) to two separate virtual machines, splitting the accessible memory in half by allowing the vm's 8GB's; performance has not suffered at all allowing ,me to run data analytics or gaming in one vm whilst maintaining a completely uesable main system with no lags or overheating or noise. I am now able to maintain an open vm and put the pc to sleep with both the main system and vm being ready to use in under 8 seconds after waking-up - this is just lightning.

Also, on a side note, I have installed these into the above noted Dell despite Dell saying the machine max is 8GB with no issue at all - actually installed first with no issue but decided I'd had enough of Windows 8 before rebuilding to Windows 7 on the mSATA so these two are happily compatible with both.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, OC to 2133 (base freq) on M18X R2.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 October 2012
Size Name: 8 GBVerified Purchase
Works fine and very stable. Actually, PNP type HyperX should not be OCed according to the description of kingston website. However, it worked with my m18x r2 in a OCed status.

Checked with the CPUZ and I found there is an additional "X" behind the normal module number. This is intesting that it should only be found on BLUE HyperX rather than Grey one (This one). "X" means it holds a INTEL XMP certificate so that it verified by INTEL XMP and should works with any built-in XMP profile.

The price of Grey one is a bit lower than BLUE on on AMazon. I am going to purchase another one.

Overall, it jumps out my assumption and the destination is Heaven. I love this and I love amazon as well.

doddle to install and works a treat on my macbook pro (not retina) - much quicker after doubling the memory inside, no lags, no nothing.

I got it with discount from the normal price so it cost about the same as generic unbranded ram - but the hyper stuff is much more well reputed so I think I'd spend on it again if I needed to.

it shows up with a question mark (i.e. the ram has been replaced) when the apple store run self tests but it would do for any ram I think

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for iMac Late 2012
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 April 2013
Verified Purchase
As the cost of other manufacturer's CL11 latency memory has risen lately, I thought I'd try these CL9 sticks in my late 2012 iMac. They work perfectly, and although the speed improvement over CL11 may be slight, to me it was worth the slightly higher cost.

Apparently there may be a problem if these are mixed with the standard CL11 Apple RAM, possibly causing all the memory to run at a slower speed (1333MHz). I replaced all of the RAM and now have 32GB 1600MHz CL9 running flawlessly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Läuft problemlos im Lenovo Y580
Reviewed in Germany on 26 January 2015
Verified Purchase
Der Speicher läuft ohne Probleme im Lenovo Y580 Notebook und beschleunigt das Arbeiten deutlich! Ich nutze Linux und arbeite häufig mit 1-3VMs in Virtualbox für diverse Tests in Server oder Windowsumgebungen.
Ich setze den Speicher jetzt seit knapp einem Jahr in obigem Notebook ein und hatte noch keinerlei Probleme mit den Modulen. Die OpenGL Leistung des integrierten Grafikchips der Intel CPU ist auch gestiegen, da dieser ja den System-Arbeitsspeicher als Videospeicher verwenden muss. Hierbei macht sich die gute Latency der Module gegenüber den vorher verbauten Standardmodulen deutlich bemerkbar. Super Qualität, ich bin sehr zufrieden :)

Wenn ihr das Y580 upgraden möchtet, hilft euch vielleicht mein Video bei Youtube. Sucht dort einfach nach "y580 ram upgrade".

5.0 out of 5 stars (Note: This is 204 Pin DDR3 SODIMM SDRAM) Fantastic upgrade for Dell Notebooks..!
Reviewed in the United States on 10 February 2013

...

This is the Notebook style 204 Pin (2x8GB sticks) 16GB total 1600MHz DDR3 SODIMM SDRAM (stands for "double data rate type three synchronous dynamic random access memory").

This is very fast high quality memory from Kingston:

* Cas Latency 9 (CL9)
* 1.5V
* Dual Channel Kit
* Easy "plug and play" installation

...

From Dell website:

How much RAM can my Windows PC Notebook computer hold?

Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems (OS) most are (64-bit)

Starter or Home Basic editions your RAM limit is 8GB

Windows Home Premium (64-bit) Ram limit is 16GB.

32-bit operating system (OS), such as Windows XP, Vista 32 or
Windows 7 32-bit edition, you have a limit of 4GB of memory.

...

I upgraded (2) Dell Inspiron notebooks with excellent results:
Big Speed difference!

Inspiron N5110 Intel Core i7-2670QM CPU @2.20GHz, 2195Mhz,
2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
(showed 7.4 in Windows Experience memory index for me).

Inspiron 15R SPECIAL EDITION 7520 Core i7-3612QM CPU @2.10GHz
(3.1 GHZ Turbo Boost) Quad Core(s), 8 logical processor(s)
(showed 7.7 in Windows Experience memory index for me).

** -> Recommend you log into the Dell support site and upgrade
your system BIOS to the latest version (if you have not already),
on line (easy, takes 5 min.) before installation of new memory..

(Even though the N5110 manual says to use 1333Mhz memory,
the new BIOS recognizes these as 1600Mhz).

Took about 5 minutes for each computer to swap out the memory.

This is excellent memory, so far absolutely no problems.

Fast delivery from Amazon, (4 days) great price, highly recommended.
