One was a 2009 MacBook Pro, and the other, a mid-2010 MacBook Pro. I bought 2 kits of this memory for two computers. Overall Review: Con, but not on Corsair's part, so I'm putting it in the Other Thoughts section. Incompatibility issue on Apple's part and not Corsair's. I was curious if 16GB was overkill because when I looked at the Activity Monitor I was only using about 4GB.Īfter loading just about every program on my computer, I was able to get the Activity Monitor to show 8.3GB in use, so the Mini can use more than the 8GB max that Intel and Apple claim. Having owned other Apple computers, I was really disappointed with the mini - especially while running Parallels (software to run Windows and other OS platforms at the same time) because it was REALLY slow.Īfter installing this 16GB memory kit I can use SEVERAL other programs and simultaneously be running Windows 7 and Ubuntu (Linux) in parallels and the mini keeps up without breaking a sweat. I bought this memory hoping it would work with my mid-2011 mac mini that only came with 2GB of Ram (It's the 2.3GHz i5). Overall Review: Notes for Mac Mini owners looking for RAM: Geekbench score only increased from 6465 to 6574, but the performance difference is MUCH more noticeable (see below comments). It allows me to blaze along running multiple programs at the same time. Not sure if your older Mac will work with 8GB DDR3 SODIMMs?
