Yaayy! Got a set from other world computing. It was a fantastic buying experience. Ordered on Monday and got it this morning, with free shipping.

Installed the 8G in my 2.66G March 09 MacPro, and everything is running great in Snow Leopard. While I have 4G before, I do notice the difference by running techtool pro, PS and Logic Pro. :)

4G is going into my GF's 2.4.

Cheers

Check out some posts in the forum regarding the 8gb memory in macbook pros. Apple has some artificial terms that limits some of the mbp to 6gb, if not the newest ones.

That's for the older MBP and even the first-gen uMBP, like the 2.4 and 2.53ghz uMBP don't support 8GB memory. However, all the other newer ones support it.

Actually that limitation was/is only true for the late-08 models. The 2.66 version is a revision that came out in March and is the early-09 model which was actually being sold CTO with 8 GB ram.
