What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Crucial is a very respected brand and although not the cheapest, it works amazing. Arrived in big padded envelope. Packaged well, shipped as promised.
Cons
Replacement cards 1/2 cards not working / doathis is a 75% fail rate on delivery! Received a bad memory module. The max per module has to be 4gb. Crucial should at least take this imac off their applications list if they can't fix the problem.
I knew buying memory was risky, but i'm almost completely turned off to it now, perhaps it is just this brand. Really disappointing. The key stat seems to be 1.

Competitiveness
As soon as i turned my imac back on, i immediately noticed a difference--the speed my computer once had was back.
Used this memory kit on my pfsense box using jetway mini-itx motherboard.
Now i have a total of 20gb of ram.
Upon further reading i realized i had a 13-inch and the people putting in four times the original memory had 15 and 17-inch screens.
