Mac Mini 2009 Snow Leopard - NO WORKY!

I bought this to upgrade my 2009 Mac Mini. Beware, this does not work with Snow Leopard, it causes a Kernal Panic and will render your mini useless in a matter of days. After trouble shooting with a Apple Expert they were about to send me a new hard drive thinking that was the problem. When I told him I upgraded with this RAM he asked me to uninstall it and magically my system was back to normal. Looking on the PNY site (unfortunately after all this) I found that they had no RAM listed as compatible with the Mac mini and their support page says that they may not be compatible with OS X 10.4 or greater.

Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Useless in Macbook Pro
I bought this RAM to upgrade my mid ‘09 MacBook Pro. I might as well have just removed the old memory and stuck a piece of bread in the computer instead. Anyway stay away prom this memory is you have a mac.

Does not work with 2009 Mac Mini
Like the other reviewer, I purchased this for a 2009 Mac Mini. worked great for a while, then started crashing. I restart the computer every 45 minutes now with kernel panic. I ran the Mac hardware test and it found a HW error in the memory after 23 seconds of testing.

Definitely NOT compatible with Mac.
