A very good buy....please follow these steps before you buy5
I purchased this product from Amazon and it was shipped in 2 hours.

You need to make sure you follow these steps before you purchase additional memory, otherwise you may landup purchasing an incompatible RAM.

1. Go to the corsair website.

2. Select memory configurator on the top right side.

3. Select Laptop and then the brand.

4. Then enter the model (normally found at the bottom of the laptop).

5. If asked for a chipset along with the model, then right click on My computer -> Properties -> hardware -> device manager.

6. Make it a point to open your laptop covering above your RAM and check the RAM model.

7. Do not trust your manufacturer manual. In my case, it was mentioned chipset 943 and RAM PC2-4200. After performing steps 5 & 6, I noticed my chipset was 945 and RAM PC2-5300.

8. Step 6 is also important, because you will have an idea about the available slots. In my case I had to increase from 1GB to 2GB. But I had 2 slots covered with 512MB each. So I had to purchase 2 * 1 GB.

Hope this review was helpful.

A perfect fit5
Although this is not the same kit number as the one on Crucial's website, it worked perfectly in my MacBook. Took me 5 minutes to install. And it came in 2 days!

Crucial Shipped the Wrong product ... and then messed me around1
I ordered this through Amazon, which passed the correct order onto Crucial. Crucial shipped me DIMM instead of SODIMM. After phoning them and being left on hold for 40 minutes, they:
1) refused to acknowledge they had made a mistake (despite the shipping order enclosed with ram providing all the correct order details)
2) insisted that I ship the ram back AT MY EXPENSE
3) would not ship me the correct ram at the price advertized on Amazon -- they wanted to charge $12 more
Altogether a foul experience. Avoid Crucial!!!!!!!!!!!!
