Is this the best memory out there, and recommended for Macbook Pro? Thanks!

It's the same spec as the stock RAM, and it works, which means it will work as well as the 8GB if you purchased from apple.

I bought this RAM a couple of days ago before the rebate started...

But I am pleased with the upgrade and all is well...

I'm assuming this would be underclocked for a mid-2010 MBP but still work, correct?

Clock rate is fine. I have the exact same memory from Amazon that was $10 that I installed yesterday.
