Installed it after and now any time I close the lid with any iwork or iweb apps open, when I open the lid they immediately crash? Any thoughts or solutions?

It seems a lot faster. Worth the price (which for me was about $130 because of shipping etc.)

No problems, in that it doesn’t freeze up the computer. Which is not to say that others haven’t experienced issues as described.

In the original Apple discussion forums last December, the 3rd party kits were around $135, so I don’t think Apple was selling it for less — otherwise, why would people opt for the third party solutions? ;)

Having said that, yes, AppleCare coverage and Apple RAM might have come in handy for James. Since I didn’t need to upgrade until now, I really didn’t need AppleCare… knock on wood! :)

It seems like the later model MacBooks were less tolerant of third-party memory, but glad to hear that Snow Leopard seems to have solved the issue.

No problems so far.
