Corsair Announces High Performance Memory for MacBook, Macbook Pro

Corsair has announced the new low latency system memory, specifically tuned for the new MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops.

The “world’s first high performance memory modules for Macs” are available as 2x2GB upgrade kits (VSA4GSDSKIT667C4) and cost approximately $159.99. The memory operates at latencies of 4-4-4-12 and is certified to run at 667MHz.

According to the company’s press release, testing has demonstrated that as much as a 28% overall system performance improvement is achieved with the new Corsair low latency memory modules versus standard Mac upgrade memory.

Corsairâ€™s Mac Memory features special Serial Presence Detect (SPD) profile characteristics, so that Macs can self-configure for optimal performance for critical applications.

I bought the Corsair VSA4GSDSKIT667C4 Kit. System will not post with the new kit installed (4GB) however 1 original Dimm and 1 new Corsair works fine and reports 3GB Installed.

System Specs – 2.5GHz Mackbook Pro, 512VRAM – M134LL/A

I logged a support request with Corsair and am awaiting a reply.

Anybody else having the same issue?

Rob if your MacBook Pro is older then Santa Rosa then it can only address 3GB of RAM, unfortunately with this configuration you don’t get the benefits of Dual Channal.

I bought this kit after doing a little research for my MacBook Pro Penryn. System Profiler reports the full 4GB, I am noticing speedups in boot/shutdown, game loading and application startup times.

Overall, this memory delivers what it promises, I would highly recommend this kit if you’re looking to upgrade your MacBook Pros Memory.
