It doesn't give you enough information so I cant tell. It is VERY cheap for x3 4GB modules. Your best bet is to buy from www.crucial.com they have a link for Mac compatable RAM. I just had 12 GB delivered this morning.

We can't see your basket, you have to give us the link to the RAM page for us to see it :)

Description on the kingston site

This description links direct to a basket at one of the UK resellers, worked out at £297 inc VAT and delivery which is over £100 cheaper than crucial which will almost buy me a 60 gb vertex2 ssd, this thing is going to fly :D

It won't work.

You need 800MHz DDR2

Maybe something like this:

(I usually get it from OWC, so I don't usually navigate the Kingston site; that something I suggested may not work, but it does say Apple ;))
