That's one not mentioned on these forums at all. So it might be good then again it might not be. Regardless, I'm rather cautious about buying RAM from a non-RAM manufacturer, since you don't know if their warranty will be upheld. Frequently all you get is RAM in a box with no warranty info. If you buy from a RAM manufacturer, at least you have a receipt and a purchase history with them to prove that you have their RAM.

I was using this set that I got from Amazon.com...

The chips were using Micron chips, the same as the OEM RAM that came with the Macbook...

I can't confirm these worked right. I was able to boot and run applications just fine, but I was having reproducible issues (sleep mode issues) when they were installed. Right now I'm in the process of running the system memory that came with the MacBook to try to reproduce the issues I had earlier to determine if it was the MacBook or RAM.
